Aetna Health Insurance is available to individuals, families and businesses. They offer many different policies that cover medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmaceuticals, disability plans, group-life plans and long-term care. Aetna was incorporated in 1853. The company has been in business for over 150 years. Aetna is a member of the Fortune 100.

The company has had many ups and downs throughout they years. In 2000, information was disclosed that Aetna had issued life insurance policies to slave owners on their slaves. Aetna confirmed the information and issued a public apology. They were also not the only insurance company that issued these types of life insurance policies back in those days. This information resulted in Aetna being named in a 2002 lawsuit along with two other companies, over 100 years after these policies were issued. The suit claimed that these companies profited from slavery.http://www.nytimes.com/2002/05/05/nyregion/slave-policies.html?pagewanted=all
