Perhaps it was revenue from the tens of millions of Americans now getting healthcare?

This analysis shows the majority of health insurers becoming less profitable after Obamacare?

So you think that a 10% increase in customers should lead to a 500% increase in revenue?

It would depend on the cost of healthcare being delivered to those customers.

Considering that an out of pocket maximum did not exist prior to affordable care act, and insurers were allowed to deny people with pre existing conditions, I would expect drastically higher spending on new insureds because they would finally start getting healthcare.

Now the insurance company has to pay the hundreds of thousands and millions per NICU/hemophiliacs/cancer patients etc, so why wouldn’t their expenses go drastically higher?
