Given the massive catastrophe gezegde

 Given the massive catastrophe losses absorbed by insurers in 2005, the increase in income during the first three quarters is a testament to the underlying financial health of the industry.

 Given the massive catastrophe losses absorbed by insurers in nine-months 2005, the increase in income and surplus during the first three quarters of the year is a testament to the underlying financial health of the industry. But we can't afford to lose sight of the fact that, as bad as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita were, insurers and the public remain exposed to far more devastating catastrophes that could strain insurers' ability to fulfill their obligations to policyholders. According to PCS, Hurricane Katrina caused a record $38.1 billion in direct insured losses to property. But catastrophe modeling by AIR Worldwide shows we face the prospect of hurricanes causing more than $100 billion in damage. Even as we applaud insurers' success coping with the catastrophes of 2005, we must do more to assure that insurers and the people they serve will survive when even more devastating storms strike.

 Home mortgages offered through insurers are likely to grow in the future. Customers get the added convenience of coordinating their home buying activities and reduce the paperwork while insurers get an alternate revenue stream uncorrelated with the insurance cycle and unaffected by catastrophe losses.

 Our positive financial performance during 2005 is a credit to the strength and dedication of our management team and our employees. During a year that included some attendance challenges, we were able to control our costs and increase our revenue-per-guest so that we actually grew our operating income. We are a stronger business today because of the work we did during 2005.

 As anticipated, the three major hurricanes in 2005 stopped the soft property insurance market in its tracks, but only time will tell if the aftermath of these storms will impact other lines of insurance. Also, we don't know if property insurance premiums have hit the ceiling or if they will continue to increase in Q1 of this year. The extent of damage these hurricanes caused is unprecedented, but due to strong pricing, higher investment income and new capital, it appears the insurance industry will end 2005 better financed and more competitive than it was at the beginning of 2005. Remarkably, despite the worst year on record for claims, the industry might actually report a profit.

 The underlying trend for our industry over the next decade should be very strong, ... What we've seen over the past couple of quarters is that the bookings have been picking up and the [trends] taking place in our industry should bode well for the growth of the industry.

 Recent mergers have given the industry a strangle hold over the health insurance market. With fewer pressures for efficiency and no government oversight of rates, insurers have been given free rein to spend more of our health care dollars on overhead, profit, and administration. The last decade of HMO mergers has taught us that when fewer HMOs dominate the health care market, quality goes down, premiums go up, and patients get short changed. Already, 45 million Americans are uninsured because they cannot afford to pay the insurers' ransom.

 This is not a new issue in the industry. For a number of years, insurers have found it necessary to adjust their exposure in certain catastrophe-prone segments of the United States.

 The health care system is moving to a privately-owned 'Single Payer' system where patients will have fewer choices, less leverage and higher costs. The number of the uninsured will surely increase has the insurers' control increases. If we are going to have a Single Payer system, why not let the government pay a lot less for better care instead of turning the health care system over to private insurers that take 20 percent for overhead and profit.

 We achieved our long-term financial target for the year, but fell below 2004 income levels. Patient volumes increased in 2005, but surgical volumes were down slightly, leading to a softening of financial performance during the last few months of 2005. Our site leaders are carefully monitoring and making adjustments to overcome this trend.

 In the past, the market has absorbed home price increases with household income growth. Well, we had household income growth in 2005, but appreciation rates were higher than that, therefore we needed the low interest rates.

 Net income for the first three quarters of 2005 is nearly equal to all of 2004,
