Operating costs
The Group segment operating cost ratio of 26.5% was unchanged from 2013, reflecting the impact of the non-
deductible health insurance industry fee and other fees mandated by the Health Care Reform Law as well as
a higher percentage of small group commercial business which carries a higher operating cost ratio than large
group business, offset by operating cost efficiencies.
