Insurance Commissioner: Curt Fackler

Curt Fackler

Party: Non Partisan

Candidate for: Insurance Commissioner

Incumbent? No

Age: 52

Hometown: Spokane

Occupation: Business Owner

50-word statement:

I have spent the last 22 years helping individuals and small business owners with employee benefit needs. The last four years we have been over charged $1.0 Billion by the three major not for profit health insurers. That money belongs to the policy holders. These companies are sending premium dollars to their for profit subsidaries, this must stop. I am the person to make this happen.

Three priorities:

1. Refund $1.4 Billion of not for profit health insurance companies excess surplus back to the policyholders.

2. Introduce legislation that would make it illegal to use credit scoring in underwriting of insurance.

3. Repeal the sales tax we pay on health insurance. Yes, we pay 2% tax on individual and small group insurance.
