Aetna and Cigna subpoenaed by New York's Spitzer on fees

Aetna Inc and Cigna Corp, two of the largest US health insurers, on Friday said they received subpoenas as part of the New York attorney general's investigation into fees insurers pay brokers as an incentive.
The insurers join several others recently subpoenaed by the attorney general, Eliot Spitzer, who is investigating whether the fees insurers pay brokers to sell their products constitute a fair business practice or pose a conflict of interest.
Hartford, Connecticut-based Aetna was subpoenaed this week, spokesman David Carter said, and intends to co-operate fully.
