- nice analysis of Aetna - thanks

- & if you look in the Barron's that came out on Sat., you'll see that OXHP is very favorably mentined by one of the analysts. And his reasons for liking oXHP - e.g. premium increases & no merit to lawsuits - apply to all hmo's including aetna's

- Anyone read the details of the verdict just won by Aetna?

- If you have, you'll sleep well owning the stock

- Basically, the Court said that Aetna sells limited health insurance coverage. Not unlimited. Not all you want.

- Also, that the patient needs to sue the doctor for malpractice. Not the HMO.

- So, I'm a holder at least until we get to the low 80's. Good luck.
