#7 To be honest, 'Skype virtual office visits' might not be a bad thing for some schtuff, like filling out kids' health paperwork for the new school year, or getting routine prescription refills. There are some advances, and advantages, to telemedicine.

Aetna, like other health insurance companies and federal/state governments, are still doing business in a 20th century mode - unless they come across a profitable or potentially profitable company with twenty-first century technology that they can buy out.
