The healthcare industry faces unprecedented economic and regulatory challenges today.  As a result in late 2008, one of the key industry barometers, Moody’s Investor Services, has changed its outlook for the U.S. healthcare insurance sector to negative from stable, prompted by operational, economic, and political challenges for the industry which resulted in lower earnings and lower growth rates in the second half of 2008 and which are expected to continue to impact results in 2009.
