Healthcare DIVE August 8, 2018
Health insurers found success in Medicare, Medicaid and even the ACA exchanges.
Second-quarter numbers for payers showed a steady engine that has withstood the strain of the past two years, most notably (the failed) Republican efforts to tear up the Affordable Care Act and other big moves from the Trump administration.
Insurers appear to have found stability and responded by expanding offerings, pulling back on others, moving into new subsectors and partnering with or gobbling up other companies.
Payer underwriting margins were strong overall with no apparent ramp up in underlying medical consumption, David Windley, managing director for healthcare equity research at Jefferies in Nashville, told Healthcare Dive.
