many of them already pay around 80-82% so finding 3-5% will be relatively easy for them.
They can cut back on people, slow down claim processing while they earn interest on the money they aren't actually paying out. Cut advertising expenses a couple of points and they're where they need to be.

It's not really the windfall people think it is
