I never quite understood this. Why were they doing that? It was like a placation payment, protection money paid to the public to shut up.

What were they afraid of? That someone was going to take a closer look at their finances and see how badly everyone is getting screwed? It's not like they don't have people scrutinizing them at every turn, and we all know what a scam insurance is.

I'm missing part of the picture. What is it?

I don't remember any medical insurers doing that, just automobile insurers.

I wouldn't think the ObamaCare had clauses like that for auto insurance, but who knows the way they write legislation.

I don't think it did. I just find it odd that an insurer would refund because of lower than expected claims. That would normally just be profit.

A diversionary tactic perhaps.

They probably saw it as a PR move. Basically they wrote it off as advertising. Once one company did it, others didn't want to look bad.
