This report, published by Milliman consulting group, touches upon the effects of U.S. financial reform on the insurance industry.  

From the report:  

On July 21, President Obama signed into law the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, often referred to as the Dodd-Frank Act. The far-reaching legislation contains a great many provisions affecting the banking industry but gives relatively little attention to the insurance industry, and that mostly in one section of the act. Title V spells out the two major areas of change: the creation of a Federal Insurance Office (FIO) within the Department of the Treasury, and state-based insurance reform, which applies mainly to reinsurance and nonadmitted insurance (surplus lines insurance).
