In Ireland it was called the Kerry Operation and the losses there are 100 jobs and it was only created 3 years ago. Now, see what I mean by algorithmically created business models, look no further than this example. The services 
will be outsourced to over seas vendors. See what’s happening with business models being adjusted for profit here in the US too, no more individual policies from Aetna in Colorado.

Aetna to Acquire Medcity-Health IT Connectivity Vendor-Former CEO Takes Position on Board at Boeing
US HEALTH benefits company Aetna is shutting down its operations in Casteleisland, Co Kerry, with the loss of 100 jobs.
Only three years ago it announced an expansion in Castleisland supported by Government agencies.
The company is involved in a cost-cutting exercise globally and is outsourcing its international service operations.
It wants greater flexibility in downsizing or upsizing workforces and also to be nearer emerging markets in Asia and the Middle East, a company spokeswoman said yesterday. However, the spokeswoman said the decision on the 23-year-old Castleisland facility was “by no means” a reflection on the cost of doing business in Ireland or on its local workforce.
In total, 300 workers globally are affected by the cuts in Hong Kong, Shanghai and the US, as well as Ireland.
Only three years ago Aetna announced an expansion of its Kerry operation, supported by Government agencies.
