r H1N1 Flu. According to the Centers for Disease Control, millions of Americans have been infected with the virus, with more than 20,000 hospitalizations. Additionally, vaccine distribution has been much slower than anticipated. Over 11 million doses have been shipped for distribution to date, with an additional 50 million doses expected to be available in November and 150 million in December. Flu activity is reported to be widespread in 46 states.

Carlson continued, "In the long run, we continue to believe that the fundamentals of our business and operations are solid. We also believe that the impact of economic recovery at the state level and expansion of Medicaid programs due to health care reform will create positive opportunities for AMERIGROUP in the future."
