We are proud to join with a respected retailer like Costco to provide health insurance options to their members in Illinois.”

He said that each of the various health insurance plans from which members can choose has its own unique combination of value, quality, and benefits that are available only to members, such as the lower copayments for drugs purchased from the pharmacies within the stores. Conlon called this type of benefit both convenient and affordable and said that it reflects the commitment of Aetna to make healthcare simpler to use.
