The resignation of Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., from Congress will probably have little effect on the insurance industry's legislative agenda, according to one expert in the field.
Although Mr. Foley was a member of the key House Ways and Means Committee, he did not play a significant role in the industry's efforts, according to J. Robert Hunter, director of insurance for the Consumer Federation of America.
“I don't think it was great,” Mr. Hunter said of Mr. Foley's work on insurance measures. “I don't remember anything, except for disaster insurance, and most of the Florida delegation was pushing that.”
