From an actuary firm:
Bill, I watched the entire video. My God! Did you get the part about the TPA not charging anything until they get a claim? They are working off a percentage of savings! Who is their actuary?
From a reinsurance broker:
The first 58 minutes is more entertaining than the last 15 minutes. Consultant lacks polish. Board lacks brains. We wouldnt put up with either up here.
