Senator Rockefeller is convinced they are not being told the truth, and there might just be something to that, as in California the State has inquired and brought investigations about several times. Several states have also looked into the amount of “reserves”, in other words rainy day money that is 
stockpiled as well.

Insurance Companies Under Attack with Lawsuits – Generated by their own Algorithms
WASHINGTON, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Health insurance companies were asked on Tuesday for information on pricing for small businesses, the latest example of U.S. lawmakers putting pressure on the industry as Congress considers how to expand coverage to more Americans.
The chairman of the Senate health committee sent letters to Aetna Inc (AET.N), Humana Inc (HUM.N), UnitedHealth Group Inc (UNH.N) and WellPoint (WLP.N) following reports that small companies could expect a 15 percent rate hike next year.
On Monday, Rockefeller said an analysis shows for-profit health insurers are using less of collected premium dollars to pay for actual health care services than had previously been made public.
The industry has said 87 cents of every premium dollar goes toward care, while an analysis released by Rockefeller said the amount was between 74 cents and 84 cents.
"They're just lying," the West Virginia Democrat told reporters on Tuesday.
