Abramson accurately predicted the need for prepaid medical plans to manage spiraling medical spending in the 60’s and 70’s and founded U. S. Healthcare to capitalize on this opportunity. Abramson built a fast-growing and extremely profitable business culminating in an $8.3 billion sale to Aetna (turning over a company with over $1 billion in cash and zero debt).
