US 79 Largest Insurance Companies With Market Caps Above $1 Bil Total Earnings in the 2Q 2017 Were $17.7 Bil, Up a Robust 27% From the $13.9 Bil Total Earnings in the 2Q 2016 ....................................................................................... Health Insurance Plan (8) Companies Total Earnings Up a Very Robust 34% in the 2Q 2017 ....................................................................................... Life Insurance (18) Companies Total Earnings Up an Even More Blistering 155% in the 2Q 2017, But Excluding MetLife Spinoff Brighthouse Financial, Which Reported $3 Bil of Net Derivative Losses in the 2Q 2016, This 155% Total Earnings Growth For These Life Insurance Companies in the 2Q 2017 Drops Down To a Much Lower, But Still Very Robust 38% ....................................................................................... Marine, Fire and Casualty Insurance (34) Companies Total Earnings Up 8% in the 2Q 2017, But With the Destructive Hurricane Harvey, Their 3Q 2017 Earnings Should Be Very Ugly ....................................................................................... Surety Insurance (6) Companies Total Earnings Declined By $1.3 Bil in the 2Q 2017, But $1.1 Bil of This Decline Was Due To MBIA's Income Tax 2Q 2017 Charge Related To Reassessing the Realizability of Its Deferred Income Tax Assets

From a review of the Google Finance Website and of company financial statements in the US SEC website, I found the 79 US Headquartered Insurance Companies with Stock Market Capitalizations of more than $1 Bil very recently and which have filed their Calendar Second Quarter 2017 Financial Statements with the SEC. 

Below here are the Total Reported US GAAP Earnings (Losses) From Continuing Operations for the Second Calendar Quarters of both 2017 and 2016 for each of these 79 large Insurance Companies.
