Here is the story from Kaiser Health News.
Genworth will be raising the premiums for new policies sold for women this spring. Experts expect that other companies will follow suit. Jesse Slome expects that the premiums will be increased by 20% to 40% for females who purchase long term care coverage on their own.

In late December 2011, AM Best upgraded their financial strength ratings for both American Continental and Continental Life of Brentwood Tennessee from A- to A (Excellent). The ratings upgrades were attributed to both premium and membership growth as well as the expected support of their new parent company, Aetna. Aetna closed on their acquisition of these companies earlier in 2011.

Cigna has cleared the first hurdle in it’s acquisition of Medicare advantage provider, HealthSpring. Here is a link to the story from CBS News.
The Cigna/HealthSpring deal was valued at $3.8 billion and was the largest in a series of acquisitions in the Medicare advantage market which have occurred in 2011.
Virtually all of the major carriers in the Medicare advantage market have completed sizable deals in 2011 including UnitedHealth, Humana, WellPoint and Cigna. The only major player who is yet to make an acquisition is Aetna (but there are still a few weeks left in 2011!) Earlier this year, however, Aetna did acquire a Medicare Supplement business from Genworth, so they seem to like to business.
Earlier this week, United announced the acquisition of XLHealth which further reduced the number of potential candidates.
I commented back in August that I felt the deals would continue and I still feel the same.
