Measure Name Net earnings excluding impact of unrealized gains and losses on equity securities    
Non-GAAP Measure Description [Text Block] In addition to reporting net earnings in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company presents net earnings excluding the impact of equity securities being measured at fair value with net unrealized gains and losses from changes in the fair value recognized in earnings. Net earnings excluding the impact of unrealized gains and losses on equity securities were $4,049,000,000, $3,592,000,000 and $3,689,000,000 for 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This measure is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, GAAP. The Company excludes the impact of unrealized gains and losses on equity securities since it is primarily due to temporary equity market fluctuations that do not reflect the Company’s operations.
