Aetna Launches New Health Care Reform Website

HARTFORD, Conn., May 09, 2011 — The passage of the Affordable Care Act was just the first step in reforming America’s health care system. That is why Aetna (NYSE: AET) has launched a new website, Health Reform Connection, to help people understand the health care reform law and stay up to date on related developments. The website also highlights Aetna’s vision for the future, which focuses on issues critical to the ongoing transformation of the health care system.

Importantly, the website also looks to the future and provides unique insights into the issues and challenges that will shape our health care system for years to come.”
