        • I'd like to respond briefly to my honorable friend, Commissioner Bartlett.
        • Dwight, the guarantee association system works, and it works well.
      • Dwight K. Bartlett III, Maryland Insurance Commissioner:
        • Are you going to tell me, Bill, in all honesty that you really believe that the policyholders of Executive Life and Mutual Benefit Life have been well-served?
        • For example, with Mutual Benefit, if you opted out of that rehabilitation plan you get, as I recall, 55 cents on the dollar of your account value.
          • If you opt into the plan, you agreed to subject yourself to a moratorium period, which means you do not get full access to the cash values of your policy until the next century.
        • Are you going to say that's meaningful coverage for those policyholders?
        • ⇒  I think that's ridiculous.
