Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | Fair Value The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires certain assets and liabilities to be reflected at their fair value and others to be reflected on another basis, such as an adjusted historical cost basis. The Company’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value have been classified within one of three levels of a hierarchy established by GAAP. The following are the levels of the hierarchy and a brief description of the type of valuation information (“valuation inputs”) that qualifies a financial asset or liability for each level:
• | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
• | Level 2 – Valuation inputs other than Level 1 that are based on observable market data. These include: quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets in inactive markets, valuation inputs that are observable that are not prices (such as interest rates and credit risks) and valuation inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable markets.
• | Level 3 – Developed from unobservable data, reflecting the Company’s assumptions.
For a description of the methods and assumptions that are used to estimate the fair value and determine the fair value hierarchy classification of each class of financial instrument, see Note 4 “Fair Value” of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Exhibit 13.1 to the 2018 Form 10-K. There were no financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2019 or December 31, 2018. Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:

(1) | It was not practical to estimate the fair value of these cost-method investments as it represents shares of unlisted companies.
Separate Accounts assets related to the Company’s large case pensions products represent funds maintained to meet specific objectives of contract holders. Since contract holders bear the investment risk of these assets, a corresponding Separate Accounts liability has been established equal to the assets. These assets and liabilities are carried at fair value. Separate Accounts financial assets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:
|  | March 31, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
