“There are a number of studies--from the government, from the Center for Studying Health System Change, from PricewaterhouseCoopers--that outline factors behind rising healthcare costs, and lack of competition among health insurers is not one of those factors. Competition is vigorous within our industry by any measure you use. If you just look at the number of competitors per market in major metropolitan statistical areas, there are at least eight, and those companies have multiple product offerings.”
