Article

Forty percent of consumers believe insurers should be more regulated then they are now.

Only oil companies and pharmaceutical manufacturers beat out insurers in the consumer rankings of 19 industries, with a response of 45% and 43%, respectively. Harris Interactive has been tracking consumer perception of health insurers for 10 years, and the trend at least seems to be improving.
