    Tougher rules on profits? Sounds to me like they have plenty of money, especially since they can raise rates with impunity as they have been doing. Put all the customer info together and see what the hackers can do to them. Anthem has already been hacked for millions of customers personal information.

      I think it might be you that has no clue Paul. Have you not seen the numerous articles on how rates are going up by double digits all across the country. It has nothing to do with rate making, file and use etc. Not with Obamacare which uses no health info on people. They take all comers, sick or not and wonder why the loss ratio goes in the toilet.

      Do you not understand what regulatory capture means? The medical monopolists, control the regulators, who in turn rubber stamp any increase demanded of them and intentionally destroy whatever competition remains. This same capture also exists on Wall Street and in education{especially at the college level}, with disastrous result.

    I was informed earlier today that 1900 people are losing their jobs at Assurant. More fall out from OBama Care.

      FFA, how about some humor prior to the weekend?

      Back when Obama first ran, he said middle America was bitter and clung to their guns and religion. Grumpy Cat said – We have noticed that your Muslim buddies cling to their guns and religion too.

    My thought is that the more mergers, the easier to have a single payer insurer, ultimately. The final merger will result in the one company left, that has the corporate infrastructure in place. It can then negotiate with the US Govt, which will no doubt be run by the Democratic President, both houses of Congress(Democrats of course) and all upheld by the liberal, left wing, Supreme Court. And when the costs of care goes up, more money is printed, and taxes are raised on the minority worker bees, which are the rest of us who toil away to support them. Does this sound familiar, “re-distribution of wealth.”
