Northwest Health Insurance Industry Capital Drops $595 Million in 2008

First few Article Sentences

It wasn't long ago that many regulators, legislators, providers and other interested parties viewed the statutory capital held by some of the larger health insurance companies as excessive. In some companies these capital balances were more than three times that required by law.

State insurance departments have been under pressure to moderate rate increases so asking the health insurance companies to offset premium increases through capital reductions seemed like a good idea.
