A Message From the Editor

Another week, another round of big names making big headlines. Aetna recently sued 20 major pharmaceutical companies, accusing them of engaging in a conspiracy to fix prices; meanwhile Paychex acquired Paycor in a multi-billion dollar deal, while a state court ordered affiliates of UnitedHealth to pay $165 million over allegations that agents violated health insurance marketing rules. But if you'd rather focus on advisors who are doing the right things (and there are lots of them), be sure to nominate someone for Advisor Of The Year before the 1/30 deadline!

– Paul Wilson, Editor-in-Chief, BenefitsPRO
