2. Aetna CEO Mark Bertolini reinforced the payer's commitment to provide coverage for all Americans.
3. The health exchange accounts for 5 percent of Aetna's membership and 6 percent of its total operating revenue.
4. The payer will withdraw from the Kansas market.
5. Aetna predicts its products will experience mid-single-digit growth in 2016.
