    How could someone from AIA read through Mr. Martin\’s prefiled testimony and then give a comment in a few hours. AIA is just attacking someone who gets in the insurance industry\’s way.

    Trade associations should have internal rules that they should not attack people. All they do is lose credibility when they get personal.

    The AP, including Mr. Simmons, are 100% accurate; using evidence based on Fact sustained with overwhelming documented truthful Evidence. The AIA neglected discussing the in-house attorneys at NCCI.

    The factual “hired gun” is NCCI using manipulated data supplied by their surreptitious financial supporter, work comp carriers; merely self-promoting and manipulated purchased data using dollars extorted from business owners.

    Before NCCI, the prominent “hired gun” was WCRI until they were legally exposed as manufactures of fraudulent data; surely, the same will occur regarding NCCI.

    The predictable sinister habits of work comp carriers using fictional data are as the boy that cried wolf too many times.

    The number one combined expense for work comp carriers; attorney fees, private investigator fees, and third party administration fees; not claimant medical and/or compensation expense.

    There is a reason the numbers of class action litigation are increasing.

    Brown vs. BiLo has been one of the biggest cost drivers we have seen in SC in the last several years. No doubt SC needs wc
    legislation reform, but Brown vs. BiLo needs to be repealed.

    What Mike Powers said is 100% ********. If the situation is so rosy, why are so many carriers no longer writing comp here? Besides, NCCI has a lot more actuaries than the one the AP hired. As usual, the media gets it only partially right, if at all.

    Let me get this straight. An insurance industry lobbyist says that I\’m a hired gun. Am I supposed to feel bad about that?

    That doesn\’t bother me, but if Mike would stick to the facts, maybe we could solve the problem.
