OK. I wasn't thinking of health insurance. CIGNA has a presence in Illinois -
where it is rated "B" across the board. Blue Cross (my guys for supplemental)
are either A or A+. And United Health Care (who the AARP keeps flogging at me)
is A or AA-.

      Title: Cream Puff Swans
 Categories: Desserts, Pastry, Citrus, Dairy
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      1 c  Water
    1/2 c  Butter
      1 c  All-purpose flour
    1/4 ts Salt
      4 lg Eggs
     11 oz Can Mandarin orange slices;
           - well-drained
      1 c  Heavy cream
      2 tb Powdered sugar; sifted
 
  Melt butter in water and bring to a boil. Sift flour with
  salt and add to butter mixture. Heat, stirring, until
  mixture forms a ball. Remove from heat and add eggs, one at
  a time, beating well between each addition.
  
  Put 1/3 of dough into a pastry bag and pipe through largest
  hole onto greased baking sheet, forming six S-shaped
  pastries, each about 3 inches long. These will form necks
  and heads of swans. Scrape any dough remaining in pastry bag
  into rest of dough. On a separate, greased baking sheet,
  form remaining dough into six ovals, drawing dough to a
  point at one end and rounding other end of oval. These will
  be bodies of swans.
  
  Place baking sheet with oval cream puffs into the oven at
  425oF/220oC and bake for 10 minutes. Place the other
  baking sheet in oven and continue to bake both batches of
  dough another 10 minutes. Turn oven down to 350oF/175oC
  and bake 5 minutes more, or until "heads" of swans are
  done. Bake "bodies" 5-10 minutes longer or until done.
  
  As baking sheets are removed from oven, remove pastries to
  racks to cool. Cool completely. Cut an oval from the top of
  each "body" and cut in half. Scoop any uncooked dough from
  "bodies". Whip cream until stiff. Beat in powdered sugar, to
  taste.
  
  Put a spoonful of well-drained Mandarin oranges in each
  "body", dividing equally among the six. Top with equal
  amounts of whipped cream. Place S-shapes in whipped cream at
  rounded ends to form neck and head. Place half-ovals in
  whipped cream behind "necks" to form wings.
  
  Serve at once.
  
  NOTES : Substitute 1 cup fresh or frozen berries, sweetened
  if desired, for oranges.
