Wink’s Moore on the Market: Birny Birnbaum is not retiring.
He is looking for more effective ways to get some pro-consumer action on life insurance and annuities.
If I had a dollar for every time he was ignored on an National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC)‘s call, I would be loaded.
So, it is not remarkable that Birny is foregoing his consumer rep role with the NAIC. -sjm
