I wouldn’t rely on the pull-out. I’d try a safer method of Obamacare control like impeachment.

Agree. Guys say they’re going to pull out, but never do.

“Are they going to be double-digit [increases] or are we going to get beat up because they’re double-digit or are we just going to have to pull out of the program?” Bertolini asked in a “Squawk Box” interview...

Double digit increases??

Bwa ha haaaaa!!!

Good for Mr. Bertolini in speaking outside the box here. Not unless FUBOCare somehow FORCES Aetna to stay with the program - look for Aetna and others to do the right thing and bail out.

This is huge! For the CEO of Aetna to publicly admit this is big news.

February 1st. Aetna backs out of Obamacare.

February 3rd. The IRS announces a full proctological audit of Aetna, and the Department of JustUs launches an investigation into Aetna on charges of obstructing obstruction. Richard Maddow dedicates his entire show to true heartbreaking tales of anonymous people who died on February 2nd because Aetna backed out of Obamacare.

Impeachment would be preferable by far.

The law is having its desired effect. Destroy insurance companies, and move all health insurance to the government.

LOL . . . Yep, might birth another offspring every bit as ugly as Obamacare.

The insurance companies are all public. They have an obligation (note translation below) to notify shareholders of significntevents.

Note: otherwise the lawyers sue the siht outta them.

There still isn't a back-end system for the exchanges to pay the insurers?

Isn't that correct? ...insurers can't confirm paid enrollment?

DING DING DING DING
No one else needs to post the same; this is exactly what everyone is thinking. It would have been better if the CEO had jokingly mentioned he’ll be buying a kevlar suit.

Exactly what he wanted, everyone under government plan, government control! I doubt Aetna is the last one, either.

Then, they’ll transfer all the insurance employees to the federal government at the GS-15 level.

Aetna observed: “We see only 11 percent of the population once firmly uninsured that are now insured. So [O/Care] didn’t really eat into the uninsured population” (the raison d'etre for its passage).

FOR THIS BOOBAMBA DESTROYED THE ENTIRE US HEALTHCARE SYSTEM---Months after the wobbly roll-out and screwed-up web site, Obamacare cunningly shifted people who were already insured onto its public exchanges to get taxpayer subsidies.....but failed to disclose these facts in order to hide its incompetence.

==================================================

"Those Democrats leering over my shoulder owe me bigtime. This
healthcare bill insures we have a permanent Democratic majority."

" All except those Tea Party types, swallowed hook, line and sinker my promises that they could:
(1) keep their existing health plans,
(2) keep their own doctors that they like,
(3) keep their 25-year-olds on the family health plan,
(4) never be denied coverage for a pre-existing condition,
(5) sign up instantly on my tech-savvy government Web site,
(6) buy insurance only after becoming seriously ill."
(7) save $2,500 in annual premiums in the bargain....
(8) All without any new taxes."

"Them sonovagun Tea Partiers will rue the day they criticized my wonderful bill."

I don’t believe so.

In my view the insurers can’t possibly know a thing until the incompetents running 0care know something, what a mess.
