From Conservative Tribune:
One of the country’s largest health care insurers has announced plans to pull out of two state Obamacare markets.
State insurance regulators said in a statement that UnitedHealth will not sell plans for next year to individuals in Arkansas or Georgia according to The Washington Post[3].
Insurance providers have faced difficulties making profits in the markets established by President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act[4] due to that fact that it cost significantly more[5] to care for individuals than the companies anticipated.
UnitedHealth is hoping that by pulling out of the two states, it will see a boost in profits next year, Leerink Partners analyst Ana Gupte said Friday in a statement.
“Exits from unprofitable markets will act as a tailwind to earnings,” she wrote. “We have more conviction in our view that there is upside” to UnitedHealth’s earnings estimates.
Tyler Mason, a UnitedHealth spokesman, would not say whether the company would drop out of additional states.
Is this a good idea?
