UnitedHealth Signals Possible Exit From Obamacare Exchanges
UnitedHealth Group warned it may pull out of Obamacare exchanges after 2016 due to low enrollment and high costs, risking coverage for roughly 540,000 people and raising questions about the law’s viability. The insurer suspended marketing of 2016 exchange plans and cut earnings outlook as premiums rise and exchange losses mount. Kaiser Permanente declined to leave ACA markets while UnitedHealth cites data showing continued losses and unstable participation.
