#membership

I saw the layoff/VSP will have an effect on all markets but does any know which departments are safe or aren’t? I read an article earlier and it seems this comes after falling membership with marketplace plans

Time to be real….Alfonso is the one truly running this company. Dan has his normal MO of being a talking head while he brings in Alfonso and his other buddies to break the company apart. Looking at PayPal….you can see exactly how this turns out. Dan spends time listening to his own voice opine on topics he doesn’t understand while Alfonso runs the company. He’s the brains, Dan is the mouth. Dan talks, and Alfonso pulls out his overplayed handbook of “tiger teams” from the 1980s to spread the guilt of running the business into the ground among a few senior leaders who are too afraid of losing their country club memberships to ever grow a backbone and stand up. Alfonso breaks the employees, runs off the customers, all the while he and Dan are pocketing millions. Same day, different company. Too bad our BoD are worthless and too spineless to step in and stop the insanity.

Alden Global Capital initiated staff cuts at Daily News. The Daily News union issued a strong response. These layoffs will reduce the union's membership by 28%. The union called Alden Global Capital a "predatory newspaper owner." They stated the cuts reflect corporate greed, not investment in journalism.

Like there was another option! ACA Membership is sinking like the stock price. You couldn’t increase membership if you had to. And as for the other mantra, “No margin, no mission”? Well that “mission” is unique to the US. The “mission” doesn’t exist in every other developed nation.

I do believe HC is essentially in trouble. With 2027 projected MA revenue change of 0.09% which indirectly affects 2026 projections, projected further MA membership attrition (up to 3 million), HC will inevitably shrink.

“They’re choosing profitability over membership in certain books (expecting membership attrition as they reprice / exit margin-dilutive segments).” Basically dropping millions of members where they’re supposedly losing money. It doesn’t look good at all.

“UHC revenue reflect fewer
consumers served, with
membership expected to range
between 46.9 million to 47.5
million.
Optum revenues of more than
$257.5 billion reflect the
corresponding membership attrition
in Optum Rx and the strategic right-
sizing of Optum Health.“

Do you think the expanded subsidies will expire or will they extend them. I workin the individual business and am concerned that membership will be way down if these expire which means more of us will lose our jobs. Does anyone have any information on this?

Said specifically by CEO yesterday during UBS call. Also indicated Centene is not trying to grow at this point (hence the title) and that they are bracing for up to 30+ percent drop in ACA membership. Medicaid will really feel it come 2017. And that’s not even considering what impact continued gains in AI will mean for employees. I hate to be negative here, but I’m not seeing much upside.

Membership is expected to grow by about 5k after the Frontier expansion. Join or die.

If Humana would allow CWP employees to do their jobs without the added cr-p and specific talking points etc, we'd have way more referrals to CWP. All the jargon is bogging employees down and stressing them out, and members are picking up on it.
