2015 Annual Report 5
Humana believes all Americans
should have access to high-quality
healthcare. While we appreciate
the consumer orientation of the
Affordable Care Act’s healthcare
exchange program, it requires
certain changes to make it viable
in the long term. We are encouraged
by CMS’ recognition of the need
for changes and its willingness
to take steps in that direction.
We will continue to partner with
the government and work toward
further enhancements as we
evaluate our future participation
in this program.
In July 2015, we signed a definitive
merger agreement with Aetna Inc.
We believe Aetna is the ideal
business partner to accelerate
our strategy and to bring the benefits
of integrated care – including clinical
capabilities and data analytics –
to millions more Americans.
Like Humana, Aetna has a strong
focus on partnering with consumers
to improve their health and
well-being and a distinguished
history as a leading FORTUNE 100
enterprise. The transaction has
already been approved by our
stockholders, but it is still subject
to various regulatory approvals.
We continue to anticipate that
the transaction will close in the
latter half of 2016.
In summary, we are firmly
committed to our strategy
of integrated care delivery.
Our value proposition is strong,
and we remain dedicated to our
goal of enabling better health
outcomes at lower costs for our
members. We would like to express
our thanks to Humana’s associates
who, in a period of transition for our
company, have continued to display
resilience, compassion, skill and
energy on behalf of our members,
our partners and our stockholders.
Sincerely,
Kurt J. Hilzinger
Chairman of the Board
Bruce D. Broussard
President, Chief Executive Officer
and Board member
We have
redoubled our
efforts to engage
our members
and drive quality
health outcomes
for them and
for our network
physicians who
care for them.
