United Healthcare must quit ObamaCare and Medicare's Supplemental coverage. Retirees, you paid through the nose as small
business owners and hard working tax payers. Now, you have a permanent nose bleed. Thanks Obama
for your genius and all you Marxist clowns for voting for this know-nothing, get rich quick, politician.
[United Healthcare] said that the cost of offering coverage was too high, as
those who gained insurance through the exchange were less healthy and
thus the company paid out more claims.
"So as we look at it, the early indications on the health status of
the members appears to be a little bit worse," said UnitedHealthcare
CFO Daniel Schumacher.
In total, the company expects to lose $650 million on people covered
through the exchanges in 2016 after losing $475 million in 2015,
according to Schumacher.
The company has also noted that younger people, who are healthier and
on net pay into the system to help cover older, less healthy members
are not signing up through the exchanges. This is hurting revenue and making it less attractive to the healthcare companies.
According to Hemsley, the company covers 795,000 people through the
exchanges as of the end of the March 2016 and at the end if the year he
expects to cover 650,000.
