As a ''similarity'' between a state fund and a residual market, it says that both are administered by the state. But as a ''difference'', it says that the state fund is administered by the state but the residual market is administered by private companies. Um...which is it? It can't be both. What they mean to say is that a residual market is set up by the state but then private companies service the policies.

-The <u>first 5 pages</u> explain the '''reasons''' for government involvement in insurance, the '''levels''' of involvement in relation to private insurance, and the '''evaluation''' of such programs. These 3 items ''(see grey boxes below)'' don't directly appear on the exam very often. Old exam questions focus more on specific details of government programs such as WC. Nonetheless, these 3 items represent basic information that you have to cover.
