Conseco Inc. (CNO), through its subsidiaries, engages in the development, marketing and administration of supplemental health insurance, annuity, individual life insurance and other insurance products for senior and middle-income markets in the United States.

In the report, the analyst notes:

"In August, the Company announced a plan to consolidate three insurance companies within its Conseco Insurance Group segment. Under the plan, two insurance subsidiaries -- Conseco Insurance Company and Conseco Health Insurance Company -- would be merged into a third subsidiary -- Washington National Insurance Company (WNIC). The Company expects to complete the merger in the fourth quarter of 2009.

"The Senate Finance Committee handed a major victory to the health care industry on October 6, by voting down two proposals that would have created a 'public option' to compete against private health insurance providers as part of an overhaul of the nation's health care system. The insurance industry has fought the public option with lobbying expenses and campaign contributions since the beginning of the year, fearing that the proposed policy would cut into their record profits."
