Sometimes tech companies and the NSA need a compelling enough incentive to refrain from engaging in self-destructive behavior ..
“When the NSA discloses the vulnerability, the creators of the software can modify the software through a “patch,” which can then be downloaded by users to close the vulnerability. When the NSA doesn’t disclose it, nothing gets done unless someone independently discovers the problem.”

“Health insurer Aetna Inc (AET.N) said on Wednesday it will exit the 2018 Obamacare individual insurance market in Delaware and Nebraska – the two remaining states where it offered the plans.”
“Aetna has now “completely exited the exchanges,” the company said in an emailed statement.”
“Aetna projected around $225 million in losses from its exchange plan businesses this year following a loss of $700 million for 2014 through 2016.”
“The insurer attributed the losses to “marketplace structural issues, that have led to co-op failures and carrier exits, and subsequent risk pool deterioration.””
“Health insurers have said they cannot plan amid the uncertainty. In addition, the balance of sick and healthy customers has been worse than expected, and premium rates on the individual insurance market went up 25 percent this year.”
“He noted that only one health plan remains in both Delaware, where Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield sells Obamacare coverage, and Nebraska, where Medica still offers coverage but has warned it may exit the program.”
