Acquisition-hungry Humana is back in the hunt again

Article Abstract:

Gregory H. Wolf, president and CEO of Humana Inc., will not comment on the rumor that his company is talking with Prudential Insurance Co. about acquiring Prudential's health-care division. Humana backed out of a deal in August in which it would have been acquired by United HealthCare Corp. If Humana buys the Pru group, it will add 5 million plan members to its own 6.2 million and $6.5 billion in annual revenue to its own $8 billion.
