45 million Americans are uninsured according toThe Kaiser Commission on Medicaid & the Uninsured (January 2006). Many of the uninsured are employed but do not have access to care. The Aetna Affordable Health Choices^® limited benefits insurance plan^* is specifically designed for employees working for an hourly wage, on a seasonal basis or fulfilling a waiting period for other employer sponsored coverage.

Part of the Aetna family
Aetna acquired SRC in 2005, blending the expertise of a premier player in the limited benefits insurance arena with the strength and brand recognition of one of the nation's leading providers of health, dental, group, life, disability and long-term care insurance benefits.

This transaction positions Aetna to reach another customer segment, the uninsured, part-time and hourly workers who until now have been underserved by national health plans.
