Thread regarding Humana Inc. layoffs

Why this is happening.

It's called math.

Baby boomers are retiring, and therefore not paying into the system like they were. Now we have Gen-X'ers, Y, etc trying to support the Boomers and it isn't possible.

Yes, we are told that insurance companies plan for this, well, we were lied to. Sorry, but are you really that surprised?

It will get worse, not better, because more and more Boomers are retiring every year and month even. The industry will contract severely, as it must. How much? No idea, but in 2018 we'll get a very good idea.

The aging and ill need caring for, yes, but the standard will have to drop. Less caregivers, less money for care, etc. It's been very cushy until now you must admit. So much waste and overspending. That is now coming to an end.

Why are people on here bringing politics into this on various threads? It’s happening any way you slice it. Washington isn’t going to help us. They can’t even agree within their own parties. They are so far removed from real people’s lives. They only know enough to manipulate us. Enough arguing about which president’s fault it is. None of them are going to save our jobs.

"Donald Trumps is to blame. This program was developed about 8 years ago under the previous president! The program was making money hand over fist as soon as Donald Trump took office the program collapsed first layoff happened in February 2018 and every quarter since. Where’s the lie? There isn’t one"

This is the most IGNORANT statement I have read on this site in the past week. DId you or are you working for Humana ? If so, you should stop speaking such garbage. You embarrass yourself and Humana.

Humana caused this. Human over reached on what impact the telephonic management could have.

Trump is not to blame. Please people. It's the Medicare population shopping for the best plan for themselves, hah was started to reduce rehospitalizions, it did, now its moving on to more profitable markets. This is not trump, or the affordable care act, it's Medicare plain and simple

I am astounded how well educated people can blame a president who has yet to touch health care or Medicare for the failed programs within Humana. Because I said so is not a valid argument. Please back up your statements with fact. Frankly you cant. There is zero data to support your argument. Now go away unless you have something of value to share.

Most of the Baby Boomers I know can't afford to retire right now. They plan to keep working until they physically or mentally can't do it anymore. Guess that's the down side of living healthy into old age.

This era is the end of the boomers. Medicare cuts from 45 and his administration is responsible. Humana dropped the ball not planning for a scenario if the merger didn’t happen. Oh and by the way millennial. We boomers paid in our whole lives. How about the government pay back what they stood repeatedly
