Aetna CEO: Obamacare “is in a Death Spiral”

Aetna CEO says ObamaCare in ‘death spiral’

The CEO of one of the largest health insurers said Wednesday that ObamaCare is in a “death spiral.” Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini’s comments come the day after Humana announced it would not participate in the ObamaCare exchanges in 2018. “It’s not going to get any better; it’s getting worse,” Bertolini said at a Wall Street Journal event.
