The Medical Loss Report: Fiddling While Rome Burns
The Health Care Blog 
[Opinion] Apr. 29, 2012
"The Wall Street Journal, citing a Goldman analysis, is reporting that Aetna will be paying out $177 million in rebates. But Aetna has $11 billion in premium so that's only a 1.6% rebate. UnitedHealth will be paying out $307 [m]illion but that is only 1% of its $28.8 billion in premium. Wellpoint will pay out $94 million in rebates but that is only .28% of its premium for the year. The average cost of employer-provided family health insurance is now about $13,000 per year. A family rebate of perhaps $200 will amount to only about 1.5% of premium for the relatively few people who will even get one."
