Default United Health Care loses millions

I recently read an article (can't find it) that United Health Care lost millions with their Obamacare plan . An insurance company is not in business to lose money. Changes will be made to correct this---you can be sure. This could impact The program here in TV but have no way of knowing that to be certain. Money lost is usually made up somewhere.

Disclosure: Wife and I are members United Health Care Advantage PPO but we are not in the Village HMO plan so we can go to any specialist anywhere. If affordable, I recommend the PPO plan.
