Humana is  larger due to 2-99 single portfolio  We offer fewer 0% plans than either competitor  Humana now offering plans with $300-$350 copays. UHC $250 ER on all.  We offer $250 ER on select plans  We are the richest with a $200 and $250 deductible (on Key portfolio) verses  $500 as the richest with top two competitors  We offer fewer HAS 100% plans than UHC who offers 10; Humana offers 3  UHC offers an HRA product with Rx copays day on and an embedded  deductible resulting in challenges and group loss for sales  We offer the richest 4 tier Rx option  Gaps identified on SG and Key that must be addressed with new portfolio
