悄悄主宰美国人生活的财富500强企业

哈门那医疗保健公司（Humana）

    潜伏在医疗保健服务争论背后的当然是提供医疗保健服务或产品的公司。尽管名字听起来像是某种未来主义超大陆，但哈门那医疗保健公司是实实在在的全美第四大医疗保健服务提供商，拥有近3000万医保会员。

    总部位于肯塔基州路易斯维尔的哈门那医疗保健公司，在医疗服务改革重塑产业的浪潮中料将取得长足发展。2012年公司新引进2900名医疗保健管理专业人员，尽管成本惊人，但这项成本以及其它运营解决方案的成本应能通过公司其它赚钱的业务加以抵消。例如流感，尽管流感对你的呼吸系统有害，但有利于哈门那的利润提高。由于流感肆虐，入院就诊人数的增加所带来的增量成本应能让哈门那在2012和2013年借此赚取7500万美元。（财富中文网）

Humana

    Lurking behind the health care debate are, of course, the companies that provide health care. Though it sounds like some kind of futuristic supercontinent, Humana(HUM, Fortune 500) is actually the fourth largest provider of health care in the United States, with nearly 30 million policyholders.

    The company, with its headquarters in Louisville, Ky., is poised to thrive as health care reform shapes the industry. Humana brought on 2,900 new care management professionals in 2012. Though costly, the price of that and other operational solutions should be offset by other areas in which the company made a profit. For example, the flu, though bad for your respiratory system, was good for Humana's bottom line. Incremental costs from increased hospital admissions, thanks to the flu, should earn Humana $75 million for 2012 and 2013.
