                      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 97% of the Company's total revenue for the three month periods
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, and 96% and 97% of total revenue for the
nine month periods ended September 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 variety of factors and risks, 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 (including Medicare) (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 premium rates requested by the Company,
which could result in adjusted rates lower than premium rates then in effect)
or business conditions (including intensification of 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.  The expiration, suspension or termination of contracts to provide
health coverage for governmental entities or other significant customers would
also negatively impact the Company.  Due to these factors and risks, no
assurance can be given with respect to the Company's premium levels or its
ability to control its medical costs.

Legislative and regulatory proposals have been made at the federal and state
government levels related to the health care system, including but not limited
to limitations on managed care organizations (including benefit mandates) and
reform of the Medicare and Medicaid programs.  Such legislative or regulatory
action could have the effect of reducing the premiums paid to the Company by
governmental programs or increasing the Company's medical costs.  Specifically,
pending federal legislation would reduce the premiums payable to the Company
under the Medicare program as compared to previously announced levels; other
pending legislation could have the result of reducing the premiums payable to
the Company under state Medicaid programs.  The Company is unable to predict
the specific content of any legislation or regulation that may be enacted or
when any such legislation or regulation will be adopted.  Therefore, the
Company cannot predict the effect of such legislation or regulation on the
Company's business.

                 Three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994

Operations

Premiums and other revenue (principally administrative services fees) for the
quarter increased $172,279,000, or 23% compared to the third quarter of 1994.
Principal factors for the increase are a 20% growth in U.S. Healthcare-insured
health plan membership (334,000 members since September 30, 1994) and higher
weighted average premiums.  Weighted average HMO premiums increased  2% to $149
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 September 30, 1995 had about 1,911,000
members, was $137 per member per month for the current quarter, compared to
$139 for the third quarter of 1994.  Compared to the third quarter of 1994, the
average premium for the Medicare plans, which at September 30, 1995 had about
90,000 members, decreased 5% to $434 per member per month.  On September 30,
1995, the Company also had about 9,000 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 third quarter of 1994 by plan type and region

Investment income increased $590,000, or 3% over the third quarter of 1994,
principally due to earnings from higher average investment portfolio balances.

Other revenue (principally administrative services fees) increased $5,407,000,
or 64% over the third quarter of 1994, principally due to a 39% increase in
membership in employer-funded health plans.  On September 30, 1995, the Company
had about 361,000 members in employer-funded health plans.

Medical costs increased $169,765,000, or 34% over the third quarter of 1994,
primarily due to a 20% growth in U.S. Healthcare-insured health plan
membership, plus higher costs per member.  Compared to the third quarter of
1994, the weighted average medical cost per HMO member increased 11% to $111
per member per month.  Factors for the per member increase include changes in
product mix, contractual changes in provider rates, higher specialist usage,
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 $23,591,000, or
29% over the third 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
$411,339,000, or 19% compared to the first nine months of 1994.  Principal
factors for the increase are a 20% increase in U.S. Healthcare-insured health
plan membership and higher weighted average premiums.  Weighted average HMO
premiums increased  2% to $148 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 September
30, 1995 had about 1,911,000 members was $137 per member per month for the
first nine months of 1995, compared to $138 for the first nine months of 1994.
The average premium for the Medicare plans, which at September 30, 1995 had
about 90,000 members, decreased 4% to $441 per member per month.  On September
30, 1995, the Company also had about 9,000 members in U.S. Healthcare-insured
indemnity plans.

Investment income increased $19,240,000, or 43% over the first nine months of
1994, due to gains on sales of marketable securities, an increase in the
average yield on investments and earnings from higher average investment
portfolio balances.

               Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
                      Condition and Results of Operations

                 Nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994


Other revenue (principally administrative services fees) increased $16,546,000,
or 70% over the first nine months of 1994, principally due to a 39% increase in
membership in employer-funded health plans.  On September 30, 1995, the Company
had about 361,000 members in employer-funded health plans.

Medical costs increased $391,817,000, or 26% over the first nine months of
1994, primarily due to a  20%  increase in U.S.  Healthcare-insured health plan
membership, plus higher costs per member.  Compared to the first nine months of
1994, the weighted average medical cost per HMO member increased 9% to $110 per
member per month.  Factors for the per member increase include changes in
product mix, contractual changes in provider rates, higher specialist usage,
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 $61,098,000, or
26% over the first nine months 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.



Liquidity and capital resources

The Company's liquidity requirements have been met from cash flows generated by
operating activities.  In the first nine months of 1995, net cash flows from
such activities were $349,207,000.  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.

                          Part II - Other Information



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.
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.  On August 15, 1995, the
Superintendent informed the Company that the Superintendent did not believe
such a hearing would serve a useful purpose and that the Superintendent would
agree to a stipulation dismissing the action.  Such a stipulation is expected
to be executed and filed in the near future.

   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 has
denied the allegations and continues 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.
