This is word of mouth from a friend that is a DSL at Mega so it may or may not be true. And I guess it's not really press stopping news but I found it interesting. It appears that Blackstone gave a certain former president of Met-Life head chair at Health Markets.
According to a news report from National Underwriter, the new CEO of HealthMarkets is Phillip Hildebrand. He formerly was a Vice Chairman of New York Life. The former CEO of HealthMarkets will become Vice-Chairman of HM.
