        Maybe they should check first to see what percentage of the profits were due to people who rushed out to buy health insurance before the government's fine/penalty for not carrying it would kick in.  Some Americans, if given the choice, would rather have the freedom to decide to pay outrageous amounts to a company they can choose instead of paying outrageous amounts to a government they may not be able to trust if the next election doesn't go the way they want it to.

    ...on another note in relation to insurance....at work, i just purchased better commercial liability, contents/building insurance and d&O insurance....switched agents with a much larger portfolio of plans to access and the premium was less than 50%...i figure a couple of the big insurance co's have looked at how they've assessed risk and have a made an adjustment...that's a huge savings for me....Canada.  in the past 5 years this kind of insurance has been increasing at about 10% per year...and now this huge decrease....and better insurance coverage.
