Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes Income TaxesThe Company recognized an income tax benefit of $4.1 million and $52.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rate was 13.7% and 36.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was lower than the 21% federal statutory rate primarily due to the impact of a cumulative catch-up adjustment associated with the change in the Company’s projected 2023 effective tax rate that resulted from the revision of the Company’s forecast. The effective income tax rates for both periods were impacted by relatively large tax benefits generated against a forecasted pre-tax loss for the year, which magnified the impact these tax benefits had on the effective income tax rate. In periods with pre-tax losses, tax benefits generated during the period increase the effective income tax rate (and, thus, the income tax benefit to the Company) rather than decreasing the effective rate, as in periods with pre-tax income. The tax benefits that caused a higher effective tax rate were primarily state income taxes (net of the federal tax benefit), earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests (for which income taxes are not the responsibility of the Company) and a reduction in reserves for unrecognized tax benefits, partially offset by non-deductible expenses.For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized income tax expense of $0.6 million and an income tax benefit of $47.0 million, respectively, resulting in an effective income tax rate of (2.4)% and 31.0%, respectively. The Company recognized income tax expense based on a pre-tax loss for the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily as a result of a change during the quarter to forecasted pre-tax earnings for 2022, the cumulative impact of which offset the tax benefits generated during the quarter. The effective income tax rates for both periods reflected pre-tax losses incurred in the periods and projected for the full year. The tax benefits that increased the income tax rates in both periods were primarily state income taxes (net of the federal tax benefit) and the earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests (for which income taxes are not the responsibility of the Company).
