While it's our job as news reporters to feed our readership what they need to know and what interests them most, I couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable reporting all the “good” news that carriers need not lose any sleep over insured losses in Haiti, where thousands have lost their lives and many more lost their homes and businesses in this week's devastating earthquake.

Just because the industry did not have much exposure in this catastrophe-torn country, doesn't mean insurers can't play a part in the island's recovery. I'd love to run some news stories about how insurers are helping provide financial or other kinds of support.

We ran one today on our life and health insurance news service about a response by Aetna, which says it will try to help arrange medical evacuations for employer clients with injured workers in Haiti.
