The U.S. health insurance industry, particularly Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), is poised for growth due to rising premiums and increasing Medicare demand as the population ages. While investments in telehealth are essential to meet digital healthcare needs, high technology costs may pressure profit margins. Additionally, a nationwide shortage of medical staff could impact care quality and membership retention, yet companies like UnitedHealth, Cigna, Humana, and Molina Healthcare are well-positioned to navigate these challenges.
