1.     The financial information for the three and six month periods ended June
       30, 1995 and 1994 included herein is unaudited.  Such information
       includes all adjustments, consisting of adjustments of a normal and
       recurring nature, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for
       a fair presentation of the Company's consolidated financial position and
       the results of its operations and cash flows.  Additionally, such
       information should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion
       and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included
       on pages 8 through 12 and the Consolidated Financial Statements and
       Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated by reference to
       the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
       1994.

                      Condition and Results of Operations


General

Substantially all of the Company's revenue is generated from premiums received
for health care coverage provided to its members.  These premiums represent
approximately 95% and 97% of the Company's total revenue for the three month
periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and 96% and 97% of total
revenue for the six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.
The Company's operating expenses are primarily medical costs consisting
principally of medical claims and capitation costs.

The Company's results of operations depend in large part on accurately
predicting and effectively managing medical costs and other operating expenses.
A number of factors, including competition, changes in health care practices,
changes in federal or state laws and regulations or the interpretations
thereof, inflation, provider contract changes, new technologies, government
imposed surcharges, taxes or assessments, reductions in provider payments by
governmental payors (such reductions may cause providers to seek higher
payments from private payors), major epidemics, disasters and numerous other
factors affecting the delivery and cost of health care, may in the future
affect the Company's ability to control its medical costs and other operating
expenses.  Governmental action (including downward adjustments to the premium
rates requested by the Company, which could result in adjusted rates lower than
premium rates then in effect) or business conditions (including competition and
the other factors described above) could result in premium revenues not
increasing to offset increases in medical costs and other operating expenses.
Once set, premiums are generally fixed for one year periods and, accordingly,
unanticipated costs during such periods cannot be recovered through higher
premiums.

Legislative and regulatory proposals have been made at the federal and state
government levels related to the health care system generally and the Medicare
and Medicaid programs specifically.  The Company is unable to predict the
content of any legislation or regulation that may be enacted, when any such
legislation or regulation will be adopted, or what effect such legislation or
regulation will have on the Company's business.

                   Three months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994

Operations

Premiums and other revenue (principally administrative services fees) for the
quarter increased $128,478,000, or 18% compared to the second quarter of 1994.
Principal factors for the increase are a 16% growth in U.S. Healthcare-insured
health plan membership (267,000 members since June 30, 1994) and higher
weighted average premiums.  Weighted average HMO premiums increased 2% to $147
per member per month, principally due to an increase in the proportion of total
membership in Medicare plans, which plans have higher premiums per member than
the Company's other HMO plans.  The average premium for U.S. Healthcare-insured
non-Medicare HMO plans, which at June 30, 1995 had about 1,829,000 members, was
$137 per member per month for the current quarter, compared to $138 for the
second quarter of 1994, a change of less than 1%.  Compared to the second
quarter of 1994, the average premium for the Medicare plans, which at June 30,
1995 had about 67,000 members, decreased 3% to $447 per member per month.  On
June 30, 1995, the Company also had about 7,000 members in U.S.
Healthcare-insured indemnity plans.

The following tables show premiums earned during the quarter and the increase
in premiums compared to the second quarter of 1994 by plan type and region
(amounts in thousands):

Investment income increased $11,348,000, or 77% over the second quarter of
1994, due to an increase in gains on sales of marketable securities, an
increase in the average yield on investments and earnings from higher average
investment portfolio balances.

Other revenue (principally administrative services fees) increased $5,530,000,
or 71% over the second quarter of 1994, principally due to a 47% increase in
membership in employer-funded health plans.  On June 30, 1995, the Company had
about 343,000 members in employer-funded health plans.

Medical costs increased $128,755,000, or 26% over the second quarter of 1994,
primarily due to a 16% growth in U.S. Healthcare-insured health plan
membership, plus higher costs per member.  Compared to the second quarter of
1994, the weighted average medical cost per HMO member increased 10% to $110
per member per month.  Factors for the per member increase include changes in
product mix, higher specialist usage and rates, higher capitation rates and the
enhancement of the Medicare program to include a pharmacy benefit for most
Medicare members.

Administrative, marketing and other operating costs increased $17,773,000, or
23% over the second quarter of 1994.  Personnel costs contributed the largest
increase as a result of higher salaries, an increase in the number of employees
necessitated, in part, by higher business volume and changes in product mix and
increased marketing capability.

Operations

Premiums and other revenue (principally administrative services fees) increased
$239,060,000, or 17% compared to the first six months of 1994.  Principal
factors for the increase are a 16% growth in U.S. Healthcare-insured health
plan membership (267,000 members since June 30, 1994) and higher weighted
average premiums.  Weighted average HMO premiums increased 2% to $147 per
member per month, principally due to an increase in the proportion of total
membership in Medicare plans, which plans have higher premiums per member than
the Company's other HMO plans. The average premium for U.S. Healthcare-insured
non-Medicare HMO plans, which at June 30, 1995 had about 1,829,000 members was
$137 per member per month for the first six months of 1995, compared to $138
for the first six months of 1994, a change of less than 1%.  The average
premium for the Medicare plans, which at June 30, 1995 had about 67,000
members, decreased 3% to $445 per member per month.  On June 30, 1995, the
Company also had about 7,000 members in U.S. Healthcare-insured indemnity
plans.

The following tables show premiums earned during the first six months and the
increase in premiums compared to the first six months of 1994 by plan type and

Liquidity and capital resources

The Company's liquidity requirements have been met from cash flows generated by
operating activities.  In the first six months of 1995, net cash flows from
such activities were $202,062,000.  The Company believes that its existing
financial resources are sufficient to meet its liquidity needs.

The Company is subject to federal and state regulations which require the
Company's subsidiaries to maintain certain levels of tangible net assets, as
defined, for use in their own operations.  Some states also require prior
approval before funds are transferred to affiliates.

Items 2, 3 and 5 are not applicable.

Item 1.      Legal Proceedings

   On October 12, 1993, the Company filed a petition with the New York State
Supreme Court seeking to stay and annul the Opinion and Decision of
Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York dated September 30, 1993,
which would have reduced the premium rates for the Company's New York HMO for
the twelve month period beginning October 1, 1993 by a weighted average of 3.9%
from the rates in effect for the preceding twelve month period.  On November 1,
1993, the Court held a hearing and ordered that a stay should be granted.
Accordingly, for New York HMO group contracts renewed or entered into during
the first quarter of 1994, the Company generally charged the premium rates in
effect during the third quarter of 1993.  The Court entered a written Order and
Decision on July 8, 1994, implementing the November 1, 1993 oral decision on
the basis that the Superintendent violated the New York Insurance Law (by
reducing the Company's premium rates without giving the Company an opportunity
to oppose the reduction) and remanding the matter to the Superintendent for a
proper hearing.  On August 4, 1994, the Superintendent filed a Notice of Appeal
with the Appellate Division; the appeal was dismissed on October 11, 1994.  On
October 13, 1994, the Superintendent moved for permission to appeal to the
Appellate Division; this motion was denied on January 17, 1995.  The
Superintendent did not appeal from the decisions of the Appellate Division and,
as of August 10, 1995, had not scheduled a hearing pursuant to the July 8, 1994
Order and Decision.  The portion of the litigation related to rates for
contracts entered into or renewed on or after April 1, 1994 through September
30, 1994 was implicitly mooted by the Superintendent's Opinion and Decision
dated April 29, 1994 approving revised rates for such period, leaving only that
portion of the litigation related to rates for contracts entered into or
renewed during the first quarter of 1994 subject to a possible hearing.

   In July 1995, certain lawyers alleging to represent a sole corporate
shareholder filed a purported class action complaint in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania seeking unspecified
damages.  The complaint alleges that the Company and two of its executive
officers, through certain misrepresentations and omissions about the Company,
violated federal securities laws and related common law.  The Company 
promptly filed a motion to dismiss the complaint in its entirety for failure 
to state a claim.  The Company intends to continue to defend this action 
vigorously.

   The Company is involved in legal actions concerning benefit plan coverage
and other decisions by the Company, and alleged medical malpractice by
participating providers.  If found liable in such actions, which are vigorously
defended on several grounds, the Company may bear financial responsibility.
The Company is also involved in certain other claims and legal actions arising
in the ordinary course of business.  In the opinion of management, these claims
and legal actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
