US Health Insurers bulk up spending

Private Health Insurance Increase

As the US health care system has been tipped for a big shake up we have seen an increase in lobbying spending from the health insurers.

You can see that in the first Quarter the big 5 insurers spent a whopping $6,400,000; this is an increase of around the $1,000,000 mark compared to this time last year. The White House is working towards an option where millions of US citizens’ could take a government insurance option. The big spending move from the big 5 is a counter result of this.

In the first quarter The Untied Health Group Inc upped there spend by 34% from $1,100,000 to $1,500,000, Aetna Inc increased their spending by 41% in the first quarter from this time last year. This list seems to continue right through the Private Health Insurance industry at the moment and is expected to continue until White House details are confirmed, stamped and sealed.
