Former Missouri Insurance Director Jay Angoff (who has been discussed here, here, and here) is now the subject of a bit of press attention. It seems his actions as Missouri’s Director of Insurance are being questioned. (Belleview News Democrat ) While he was Insurance Commissioner he fought damage caps and lo and behold, it turns out that Mr. Angoff is a trial lawyer Seeker of Justice. While there is nothing nefarious in those two positions, other people are finally starting to realize that he is not an impartial observer of the med mal system.

Update: Ray Lehmann, while not necessarily a supporter of Mr. Angoff, has a reasonable but different take on the Belleview News article linked above.
I'm more skeptical of the skeptical press attention than you and Walter.
