New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted and Not Yet Adopted [Text Block]	Recent Accounting Standards Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 820), which changes the presentation of comprehensive income. These changes give an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements; the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity was eliminated. This guidance became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012 and only required a change in the format of the presentation of comprehensive income. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), which provides a consistent definition of fair value and ensures that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The guidance changes certain fair value measurement principles and expands the disclosure requirements particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2012 and was applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance, which primarily relates to disclosure, did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-26, Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts, which updates the accounting for deferred acquisition costs. This guidance modifies the definition of the types of costs incurred by insurance entities that can be capitalized in the acquisition of new and renewal insurance contracts. The amendments in this guidance specify that the costs are limited to incremental direct costs that result directly from successful contract transactions and would not have been incurred by the insurance entity had the contract transactions not occurred. These costs must be directly related to underwriting, policy issuance and processing, medical and inspection reports and sales force contract selling. The amendments also specify that advertising costs are only included as deferred acquisition costs if the direct-response advertising criteria are met. ASU 2010-26 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company retrospectively adopted the new standard on January 1, 2012. As of January 1, 2010, the beginning of the earliest period presented, the cumulative effect of the adjustment recorded to adopt this guidance resulted in decreases of $4.9 million to deferred acquisition costs, $1.7 million to deferred income taxes and $3.2 million to retained earnings. See the Note, "Restatement" for the effect of the retrospective adoption on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statement line items for the years ending December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements On February 5, 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This guidance is the culmination of the board’s redeliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from AOCI. The new requirements will take effect for public companies in interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 (the first quarter of 2013 for public, calendar-year companies). The Company is evaluating the impact of the ASU. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. The ASU permits entities to perform an optional qualitative assessment for determining whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. The guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company is evaluating the impact of the ASU. The Company does not expect the adoption of this pronouncement to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This standard requires the disclosure of both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position, as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements. The new requirements are effective for the Company beginning on January 1, 2013. As the provisions of ASU No. 2011-11 only impact the disclosure requirements related to the offsetting of assets and liabilities, the Company does not expect a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows as a result of adoption of these new requirements.
