Depreciation expense for 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $104.0, $105.8 and $106.5, respectively. Amortization expense on computer software and leasehold improvements for 2016, 2015 and 2014 was $472.0, $409.8 and $367.8, respectively, which includes amortization expense on computer software, both purchased and internally developed, for 2016, 2015 and 2014 of $411.8, $366.7 and $329.2, respectively. Capitalized costs related to the internal development of software of $2,157.2 and $2,024.7 at December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, are reported with computer software. 

During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, we recognized $25.3, $1.8 and $7.9, respectively, of impairments related to computer software (primarily internally developed). We also recognized $19.5 of impairments related to data processing equipment in 2016. These impairments were due to project cancellation or asset replacement, some of which resulted from a change in strategic focus needed to effectively manage business operations in a post-Health Care Reform environment.
