7Annual Report 2007
Looking Ahead: Humana’s
Continuing Transformation
In summary, we completed another record-
breaking year for revenues, membership and
net income in 2007 and expect to repeat this
achievement in 2008. Our consumerism strategy
continues to prove its worth across the board,
but especially in Medicare, which we’ve always
operated as a one-to-one retail consumer
business. Our 20-plus years of effectiveness
in Medicare in virtually every type of political
environment positions us well for the continuing
national conversation on healthcare reform. And
our overall strategy, combined with accelerating
senior demographics for which we’ve carefully
prepared, positions us for continued long-term
growth and success.
Over the past few years — and especially in
the last two — we have transitioned quickly
and effectively from a super-regional company
offering traditional health benefi ts in pockets
of the U.S., to a truly national enterprise with
across-the-board capabilities in a wide variety of
benefi t offerings. In so doing, we’ve expanded
the frontiers of our “guidance when you need it
most” orientation. As we continue transforming
passive health-care users into actively engaged
health-care consumers, we will play a leading
role in improving our members’ health
and well-being.
