Captive Insurance is not a tax avoidance scheme. It is a way for businesses to pool their resources to get insurance at low rates. They form a company to provide insurance coverage, and most importantly, buy reinsurance at low rates. The profit earned on funds held by the captive can be shielded from income tax off shore, or in Vermont, but when they are taken as a dividend, the tax has to be paid.

The IRS watches this very carefully. The only people who lose out on this rapidly growing option are the commercial insurers and their brokers.

I don't like Dean at all but he's not indulging in hypocrisy. What he says is true.

Your comments really crack me up,
I’d have to say you’re funny.
As funny as a hemorrhoid,
Or as a nose that’s runny.
Saddam’s capture no big deal,
Your stance is still the same.
You’re really sucking big on this,
I’d say your brain is lame.
But tell me Howie I must know,
These speeches just who writes them?
Katie Couric comes to mind,
Or Michael Moore, is it him?
Well Doctor Dean you make me sick,
Malpractice, I will sue you.
Please get a clue, I’ll sell you one,
John Kerry needs a few too.

i had an opportunity to deal with one of those "insurance" companies, it makes enron look like a normal operation with a single office in vermont, of a major insurance carrier, who then has offices in other states, but processes work via their computer link to vermont.

a talk with the state insurance office revealed even more about the normal but underhanded method of shielding a lot of information from regulators. too bad this data on dean is coming out before he is nominated.
