The Trump administration is calling for 2027 rates received by Medicare insurers to be “roughly flat”, which would be well short of expectations, The Wall Street Journal’s Anna Wilde Mathews and Christopher Weaver report, citing the proposal by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Payments to the plans would increase by an estimated 0.09% on average in 2027, the report states. Publicly traded companies in the space are trading sharply lower afterhours on the report and include CVS Health (CVS), Centene (CNC), Cigna (CI), Elevance Health (ELV), Humana (HUM), Molina Healthcare (MOH) and UnitedHealth (UNH).
