Health insurers drop Medicare Advantage plans affecting nearly 3M older Americans

Nearly 3 million older Americans will lose their Medicare Advantage plans this year, according to Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health research. One in 10 Medicare Advantage policyholders face forced disenrollment, with Vermont hit hardest at 92% of policyholders affected. Humana announced its exit from multiple markets for the second consecutive year, impacting 600,000 members. The company reported $1.9 billion profit in the first half of 2026. Insurers cite financial pressures from federal policy changes aimed at reducing overpayments, resulting in lower government reimbursement rates. Combined with rising medical costs, these factors are squeezing profit margins. Shannon Benton of Senior Citizens League said Humana's decision shows Medicare Advantage insurers are "prioritising profit growth over enrollment growth.
