Throughout my career I’ve given a number of presentations on actuarial topics.  Most of these presentations fall into one of three categories:

1. Presentations talking about the medical loss ratio / rebate provisions of the Affordable Care Act;
2. Presentations talking about the potential impact to US health insurers of the IASB and/or FASB projects to modify accounting for insurance contracts;
3. Presentations talking about evolving developments in health insurance financial regulation of interest to actuaries.
