The Kansas insurance market for small businesses and individuals was highly concentrated around a small number of insurers in 2010, which could complicate efforts to create a statewide insurance exchange, a new report says.
Missouri was considered more open, with moderate concentration.
In a study released Thursday, the Kaiser Family Foundation measured the relative competitiveness of state insurance markets throughout the country, based on 2010 insurance filings and other data.
It found that in a majority of states and the District of Columbia, a single carrier held at least half of the market share for both types of insurance last year...

The state’s audit found that the general fund’s balance has dropped from nearly $7 million in 2008 to a budgeted balance of $558,991 in 2011...

But our local building takedown, which started last week, will be much more low-key. As you can see from these videos, tearing apart West Edge is less like watching a sand castle disintegrate and more like seeing a child take Lego inventions apart block by block...

In New York and Los Angeles, Pandora draws more listeners than those cities' biggest radio stations, but it may take the company until fiscal 2014 to land a profit.
Analysts speculate that one reason Pandora isn’t attracting marketers is because it’s creating new types of advertising geared to a variety of audiences, a format foreign to most companies.
