You chased ken around here like a puppy on a string, even after you knew he was a man.

Are you still friends with him on facebook?

Two of the Nation’s Top Four Health Insurers Quit California’s Individual Market







On June 18, Aetna announced that it would leave California’s individual health insurance market. Today, UnitedHealth joined them.


The nation’s largest health insurer, UnitedHealth Group Inc., is leaving California’s individual health insurance market, the second major company to exit in advance of major changes under the Affordable Care Act.




UnitedHealth said it had notified state regulators that it would leave the state’s individual market at year-end and force about 8,000 customers to find new coverage. Last month, Aetna Inc., the nation’s third-largest health insurer, made a similar move affecting about 50,000 existing policyholders.

Both companies will keep a major presence in California, focusing instead on large and small employers.

Together, Aetna and UH only represent about 7% of the individual health insurance market in California. But still, the fact that two very large insurers are leaving the nation’s largest, and among the most heavily regulated, markets is significant. Both cite the cost of doing business in California among the reasons for leaving. Their current customers will have to find an alternative by January 1 or face ObamaCare’s fines.

The Nirvana of ObamaCare promised lower rates, more access and we could all keep our doctors if we wanted. The reality is turning out to be less choice, higher prices and doctors leaving the medical profession in droves.

Some of us predicted that this would be the outcome.

United Health Care already admitted it couldn't provide health insurance as cheaply and affordably as an exchange plan. So why does this matter?

Also, 8k people in a state of 39 million? That's basically... nobody. That tells me that UHC didn't really have a presence in the individual market in the first place.

And oh look:

A spokeswoman for UnitedHealth said "our individual business in California has always been relatively small … [and] over the years, it has become more difficult to administer these plans in a cost-effective way for our members."

In case you were wondering where our legislators were on that whole “crushing levels of student debt" thing.

People with higher education levels vote disproportionately Democratic. Keeping 'em simple-minded helps elect Rapepublicans.

Aetna was slightly larger with a 5% market share.

Nope, I still don't give a crap.

The other thirteen companies on the Cali exchanges are there to gladly take their business. It's like you guys still haven't figured out that I read your sources better than you do
