... At Their Fall 2010 National Meeting in Orlando, Florida.
The NAIC Fall 2010 National Meeting is being held at the Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando. Think South Beach in Miami or Southampton on Long Island. The place where the National Association of Insurance Commissioners has chosen to meet seems like a rich person's fantasy of entitlement.
For example, parking costs $12.00 a day. Here at the Fall 2010 National NAIC Meeting, people pay $12.00 a day to hear them do the people's business. It is our shared hope, I have no doubt, that good is certain to result if they orient their departments in the business of hearing the people, and at no charge.
Additional random thoughts:
- A person can get some good information from reviewing a meeting's "list of attendees". A person sure can tell, for example, which law firms practice in the Insurance Regulation area.
- There is a surprisingly small number of attendees from AHIP, or America's Health Insurance Plans. It will be interesting to see the attendance at the Committee meeting scheduled later in the week to make recommendations to the NAIC, and thus to the Federal Government for whom the NAIC is standing in for some reason, on Regulations addressing Health Coverage and Premiums.
- There are also a relatively few number of people attending who are from PhARMA, the drugmakers' organization. Maybe they do not have to attend. The issues that interest them may have already been decided except for the finishing touches, thus the small contingent in attendance.
Time will tell.
