“We are very encouraged by the open enrollment results so far,” R. Milton Johnson said at the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. Mr. Johnson also said he believes a small number of people may drop out of the exchanges during the latter half of the year.
Thus far, approximately 11.3 million consumers have signed up for coverage through the exchanges, according to the report.
Meanwhile, multiple health insurers — including UnitedHealthcare, Cigna and Humana — have said they haven’t made money on the exchanges.
Earlier this week, HCA reported it expects an Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $7.9 billion for 2015, which exceeds its previously issued guidance of about $7.8 billion.
