Periodically, the plan shall compare the premiums earned to the losses and expenses sustained by the plan. If there is any excess of losses and expenses over premiums earned, an amount determined by the commissioner to be necessary to fund such excess losses and expenses shall be transferred from the uninsurable health insurance plan fund to the plan to pay claims and expenses resulting from its operation. If there is any surplus of premiums earned over losses and expenses, such surplus shall be transferred to the uninsurable health insurance plan fund from the plan. All expenditures from the uninsurable health insurance plan fund shall be made in accordance with appropriation acts upon warrants of the director of accounts and reports issued pursuant to vouchers approved by the commissioner or a person or persons designated by the commissioner.
