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.
It sounds like Dean wanted the benefits of capitalism without having to admit to any of his 'high-minded' liberal friends he was a capitalist.
