UnitedHealthcare

The two largest Medicare Advantage (MA) insurers, UnitedHealthcare (UHC) and Humana, are terminating plans covering nearly one million seniors in 2027, according to a Healthcare Brew report. The moves reflect a broader industry retrenchment as payers respond to rising utilisation and medical costs by reducing benefits, shifting enrollees into narrower networks and canceling low-return plans, even as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services describes the market as stable.
