Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rate was 47.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to 37.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 the effective tax rate was 46.8%, compared to 36.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The non-deductible nature of the health insurance industry fee levied on the industry beginning in 2014 as mandated by the Health Care Reform Law increased our effective tax rate by approximately 10 percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. In addition, the effective tax for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes the beneficial effect of a change in our estimated tax liability associated with limitations on the deductibility of annual compensation in excess of $500,000 per employee as mandated by the Health Care Reform Law.
