Wal-Mart provides health insurance to full and part-time associates. For many associates, a job at Wal-Mart means new access to health coverage.

This special interest incentive would be a disgrace. With budget deficits growing to historic levels, we need to make sure tax dollars are going to those who truly need the government's help ... We trust you will do the right thing and make sure federal resources go to the poor, the needy and the vulnerable and not the gambling interests who already have insurance to cover catastrophic events like hurricanes.

Today we are sending out a very clear message to those who drive without insurance - there is now no place to hide.

We do commit to setting up the first insurance company initiated by a bank. But it is very hard to say when the company can be open for business.

We do have a little bit of a role reversal. The vulnerability is that (tech) stocks are priced at such levels that any disappointment leaves investors with a quick and sour taste in the mouth. Today's action reflects a little insurance being taken out that if somebody falters, it will bring the others down.

We want to make sure that health benefits are available to anyone who needs them. At the same time, we recognize there are folks who need time to become solvent as a business so they can afford to offer full-blown insurance to their employees.

When there's a disaster, insurance companies practice a form of triage and go to the worst damages first.

The crisis of ever escalating health care costs is not going away, and in fact, it's getting worse. Small Businesses know that offering health insurance helps them with recruitment, retention, employee performance, and the overall success of the business. This is something I firmly believe Congress should address right now. Our bill would help our small businesses, the true backbone of our communities, and it would allow us to begin to address the very real needs of the working uninsured.

The fact that the main proposals to emerge are limits on health insurance and mortgage interest deductions reveal the usual Washington mindset of how to more efficiently shear the taxpaying sheep.

The existing insurance rates capture all relevant risks. After the proposed changes, the rates will be less accurate.

What (insurance companies) do is target urban areas and raise the rates. It's a problem. It's led to rampant discrimination in the insurance industry.

What I don't want to see us do is keep fooling ourselves and say we're going to let Citizens handle it, the Cat Fund handle it, which is saying we have insurance when we really don't. All we're doing is creating this mechanism to tax ourselves at a level, frankly, our state can't sustain.

What we suggest is that they meet them beforehand to make sure that everything is OK - they might want to check insurance details for instance.

There are a lot of poor areas, a lot of areas where insurance is not common,

We believe the combination of American General with AIG is a great platform, ... We have a very good, but small, domestic life insurance business, and this will enhance it.

When people become part of the auto club, they get a better understanding of what we're about and what we can offer.

We will give Ping An our full support in boosting insurance business, but we haven't got any detailed plans for the moment. The bank can leverage its wide network of branches for the insurance business.

This takes the ambiguity out of it as far as the insurance commissioner is concerned.

This safety audit that the insurance company does is thorough. It involves safety issues with equipment, building security and just all kinds of things like that. They give us a detailed report and we're glad to use it.

This report does confirm and reinforce a lot of things that we know have been happening. One is that with insurance premiums continually going up at a rapid rate and coverage eroding, we're finding that even moderate- and middle-income families are starting to find insurance unaffordable, with the result that the number of uninsured in those groups is rising.

The reason you buy insurance is to protect yourself financially. If you get really sick, it doesn't do you much good if you have a $3,000 deductible and now don't have $3,000.

Why does their proposal exclude over 100 million Americans from its limited number of protections? ... They're slicing this issue as thin as they can and hoping the American people don't see through their strategy. Why do they include a poison pill -- unlimited medical savings accounts that could make health insurance unaffordable for many Americans? Well, my guess is they really don't want legislation to pass this year.

We were told the insurance would pay 80 to 100 percent of medical expenses for catastrophic illnesses. When both of us were hit with catastrophes within one nine-month period, we were left hanging with $180,000 in unpaid medical debts. The insurance paid less than 15 percent. And we worry that others like us will end up risking their health, and their lives, because of costs.

They are sleepless wondering whether their kid is going to be the next to die in Iraq.
