	Ace v. Aetna Life Insurance Company
		Aetna removed the case to federal court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. The jury ruled for Ace on her bad faith claim and awarded her $27,009 for the wrongful denial of disability benefits and $100,000 for emotional distress.
		Aetna representatives advised her that although her policy required her to be "under the care of a physician," the physician need not be a specialist.
		Aetna appeals the denial of a new trial on the award of "emotional distress" damages, asserting that the district court erred by failing to instruct the jury that a plaintiff seeking emotional distress damages must prove that her distress was "severe" before any damages may be awarded.

	Aetna plays the field - Jun. 19, 2000
		Aetna, which is struggling to control costs at its struggling health-care business, agreed several weeks ago to return to the negotiating table with ING after rejecting a buyout offer by ING and California-based WellPoint Health Networks (WLP: Research, Estimates).
		Aetna is seen as eager to split off either its Aetna Financial Services unit or Aetna International, which would give the company a major cash infusion to channel into its health-care operation, which accounts for about 80 percent of the company's total revenue.
		One problem for Aetna is that if the ING overtures don't work out and the company ultimately sells its units piecemeal, the company could face some big tax penalties associated with those types of sales, said Greg Crawford, an analyst at Fox-Pitt Kelton Inc. He has an "attractive" rating on Aetna stock.
