| COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES [Text Block] | We purchase reinsurance coverage for our insurance lines of business. The minimum reinsurance premiums are contractually due in advance on a quarterly basis. Accordingly, at June 30, 2013, we have an outstanding reinsurance purchase commitment of $73 million. Actual payments under the reinsurance contracts will depend on the underlying subject premium and may exceed the minimum premium. Refer to Note 3 - Investments for information on commitments related to our investment portfolio. |
