further information, the reader of this Form 10-Q may wish to refer to the
Form 10-K of Humana Inc. (the "Company") for the year ended December 31,
1994.

The financial information has been prepared in accordance with the
Company's customary accounting practices and has not been audited.  In the
opinion of management, the information presented reflects all adjustments
necessary for a fair statement of interim results.  All such adjustments
are of a normal and recurring nature.  

(B) Contingencies

The Company provides medical services to Medicare risk members under
contracts with the Health Care Financing Administration ("HCFA") that are
renewed for a one-year term each December 31 unless terminated 90 days
prior thereto.  The loss of these contracts or significant changes in the
Medicare program as a result of legislative action, including reductions
in payments or increases in benefits without corresponding increases in
payments, would have a material adverse effect on the revenues,
profitability and business prospects of the Company.  Effective January 1,
1995, the average rate of increase under these contracts approximated 6
percent.  Over the last five years, annual increases have ranged from as
low as 2 percent in January 1991 to as high as 12 percent in January 1993,
with an average of 6 percent. 

During 1994, the Company's South Florida health plan (the "Plan") was
denied accreditation by the National Committee for Quality Assurance
("NCQA").  In addition, HCFA notified the Company regarding its separate
investigation of the Plan, that the Plan was not fully meeting data
collection and use requirements in the areas of utilization management,
quality assurance and availability/accessibility.  The Company has begun
various corrective action procedures developed jointly with regulatory
agencies to resolve the issues identified and expects no material effects
on its results of operations, financial position or cash flows as a result
of the HCFA investigation or NCQA accreditation denial.

Resolution of various loss contingencies, including litigation pending
against the Company in the ordinary course of business, is not expected to
have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, financial
position or cash flows.

        ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The Company offers managed health care products which integrate management
with the delivery of health care services through a network of
providers who share financial risk or who have incentives to deliver
quality, cost-effective medical services.  These products are marketed
primarily through health maintenance organizations ("HMOs") and preferred
provider organizations ("PPOs") that encourage or require use of
contracting providers.  HMOs and PPOs also control health care costs by
various means including the use of utilization controls such as pre-
admission approval for hospital inpatient services and pre-authorization
of outpatient surgical procedures.

The Company's HMO and PPO products are primarily marketed to employer and
other groups ("Commercial") as well as Medicaid and Medicare-eligible
individuals.  The products marketed to Medicare-eligible individuals are
either HMO products that provide managed care services which include all
Medicare benefits and, in certain circumstances, additional managed care
services that are not included in Medicare benefits ("Medicare risk") or
indemnity insurance policies that supplement Medicare benefits ("Medicare
supplement").


Results of Operations
                     

The Company's premium revenues increased 20 percent to $1 billion for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared to $853 million for the same period
in 1994.  This growth was due to same-store membership gains, a 5.7
percent increase in Medicare risk premium rates, and the 1994 acquisitions
of CareNetwork, Inc. and Group Health Association.  Premium revenues
associated with these acquisitions totaled approximately $84 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared to approximately $17 million
during the first quarter of 1994.

Membership in the Company's Commercial products increased 136,300 or 9
percent during the first quarter ended March 31, 1995.  On a same-store
basis, Commercial membership for the quarter ended March 31, 1995,
increased 131,700 compared to 120,000 for all of 1994.  The Company also
added 5,100 Medicare risk members and 134,900 members in its
administrative services product.  Medicare supplement membership declined
5,600 members during the quarter ended March 31, 1995, as anticipated,
continuing the decline first experienced in 1993.  For all of 1995, the
Company anticipates combined Commercial and Medicare risk product
membership gains in excess of 10 percent.

The medical loss ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, was 80.6
percent compared to 82.4 percent for the same period in 1994.  The
improvement was primarily due to decreased hospital utilization in both
the Commercial and Medicare risk products.  Patient days per thousand
members for the quarter ended March 31, 1995, decreased 5 percent from the
same period a year ago to 274 days per thousand for the Commercial product
and 6 percent to 1,507 days per thousand for the Medicare risk product.  
In addition, the Medicare risk premium rate increase of 5.7 percent
exceeded the rate of growth of physician and other medical services costs
in this product, which resulted in an improvement in the overall loss
ratio.  Because the Company does not expect Commercial product premium

        ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)


rate increases for the remainder of 1995, additional improvements in
hospital and other medical services costs are necessary to achieve further
reductions in the medical loss ratio.

The administrative cost ratio was 13.7 percent and 13.4 percent for the
quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The increase is the
result of increased marketing efforts, costs associated with the
integration of acquired plans and the expansion of market service areas. 
Although the Company expects these types of costs to continue, the
administrative cost ratio is expected to decline during the latter part of
1995 as a result of membership growth.

Interest income totaled $19 million and $13 million for the quarters ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The increase is attributable to
higher yields earned in the first quarter of 1995 compared to the first
quarter of 1994, as well as increased levels of cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities.  The tax equivalent yield on invested assets
approximated 8 percent and 6 percent for the quarters ended March 31, 1995
and 1994, respectively.

The Company's income before income taxes totaled $80 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, compared to $51 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1994.  Net income increased to $53 million or $.32 per
share from $32 million or $.20 per share for the quarters ended March 31,
1995 and 1994, respectively.


Liquidity
         

Cash provided by the Company's operations totaled $174 million and $148
million for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The
timing of the receipt of Medicare risk premiums increased cash provided by
operations by $122 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 compared
to $6 million for the same period in 1994.  Excluding the effect of the
timing of Medicare risk premiums, cash provided by operations was $52
million and $142 million for the quarters ended March 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  This decrease in cash provided by operations was primarily
attributable to the timing of payments for medical costs and other
payables, partially offset by increased net income.

The Company's subsidiaries operate in states which require certain levels
of equity and regulate the payment of dividends to the parent company.  As
a result, the Company's ability to use operating subsidiaries' cash flows
is restricted to the extent that the subsidiaries' ability to pay
dividends to the Company requires regulatory approval.  At March 31, 1995,
and December 31, 1994, the Company had approximately $250 million and $220
million of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities,
respectively.

Management believes that existing working capital, including the
aforementioned unrestricted funds, future operating cash flows, and the
availability of a $350 million line of credit are  sufficient to meet
future liquidity needs, allow the Company to pursue acquisition and
expansion opportunities and fund capital requirements.

Capital Resources
                 

The Company's ongoing capital expenditures relate primarily to the
addition or expansion of medical care facilities used by either employed
or affiliated physicians as well as administrative facilities and related
computer information systems necessary for activities such as claims
processing, billing and collections, medical utilization review and
customer service.

Excluding acquisitions, planned capital spending in 1995 will approximate
$45 million to $50 million compared to $39 million in 1994.  Management
believes that its capital spending program is adequate to expand, improve
and equip its existing business.

For the purpose of determining earnings in the calculation of the ratio
of earnings to fixed charges, earnings have been increased by the provision
for income taxes and fixed charges.  Fixed charges consist of interest
expense on borrowings and one-third (the proportion
deemed representative of the interest portion) of rent expense.
