Wendell, I worked at Cigna as a sales and marketing exec for 30 years in the Wilde, Roberts and Kilpatrick era and later functioned as an independent consultant to TPAs for 12 years before retirement. Currently I reside at Seabury retirement Community in Bloomfield but maintain contact with former associates, Dave Wahams and Tom Dooley among others.

There is much I admired at Cigna and still do. However, looking back the company and the industry has failed the American people in many ways contributing to the mess our health system is in today. My perspective on this is covered in a rather lengthy comment I posted today on your blog. I salute your efforts to achieve meaningful health care reform and through volunteer support to the Universal Health Care Foundation of Connecticut lend my support for these initiatives.

I missed your recent appearance at the University of Hartford, Hopefully, another opportunity to meet you will occur soon.
