PIA Article: Ben Nelson to the Rescue

The announcement that former Nebraska Governor and former U.S. Senator Ben Nelson had been chosen as the new chief executive officer of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) was music to the ears of supporters of state insurance regulation. An article by PIA’s Ted Besesparis in the March 2013 issue of American Agent & Broker magazine sings the praises of Nelson, with whom PIA National and PIA of Nebraska have maintained a close working relationship over several decades.

An excerpt: “Like the cavalry riding to the rescue, Nelson was in his new job only 24 hours before he held a press conference and declared that there is ‘no need for dual regulation’ of insurance. You could almost hear a collective national sigh of relief emanating from the supporters of state insurance regulation.” You can read the entire article here.
