$CNC IMHO it will take many underwriting cycles ahead and, many years to fix the Medicaid HMO problems going forwards - it's not a one quarters reprieve that will fix this Medicaid based sector from their problems situated ahead for a long long time IMHO

$CNC the Iran War has caused an even bigger federal budget deficit - and you guessed right the Trump admin is now even bolder in finding ways to cut Medicaid - and it will hurt Medicaid HMOs even more IMHO Einhorn thinks there is a transition story in cnc - think again IMHO - they will be fighting for its survival for years under the current state of Medicaid IMHO and draining all their reserves , cash balances and will be lucky to stay adequately solvent with enough reserves to cover future claims ahead IMHO Reply Like

$CNC Einhorn is now a pumper ever since he works and trades for his family fund - there is NO transition from a single quarters improvement in medical loss ratio based on releasing of over reserves to bump up the earnings for the year LOL - in fact every time CNC has been overbought and more then 25% above their 200-day it has consistently fallen 35% from similarly overbought conditions before resuming its uptrend since year 2015 - chances is this is no different other then the 35% drop may be on the high side from here but 10% to 20% drop is reasonable from these overbought conditions IMHO

$CNC Einhorn is way off base the State is not going to underwrite higher premium rates just to make the Medicaid HMOs with even money to pay their network providers - State and Fed money cuts to Medicaid funding will force the underwriters to not fund it at cost but at below costs and force the Medicaid HMOs to reduce care costs in the system by lowering provider payment rates instead - LOL - this change in fed/state underwriting based on available fed state funds will keep margins low and even lower when the next cycle of Underwriting happens - Einhorn is dreaming up smoke or maybe its the leadership at cnc that thinks if they spend more and pay out more claims the fed and state straddled with funding cuts will make them whole with higher underwriting premium - its a dream fallacy that CNC will get higher underwriting premiums to fund the higher medical costs that will show up in the future - that's why this stock got pumped up on illusionary state & fed bailouts coming to cover costs

$CNC IMHO Einhorn gone bonkers investing and pumping up a medicaid state administrator money distribution payment center which is pretty much what these Medicaid HMOs are a bill payment center playing around with State actuarialists to get preimium underwriters dollars to pool out payments to providers with incentives to restrict care LOL - Einhorn is way off on this one IMHO it's an declining eroding business due to Fed state plans for cuts to enrollments - ie - its a slowly dying business a shrinking ones due to smaller enrollement base and higher risk patients left in the pool to play off -no thanks is what I say

$CNC IMHO Republicans looking for Medicaid cuts the way they will do it is to give less Fed funds forcing states to underwrite lower Medicaid premiums forcing Medicaid HMOs to get less money to pay out for services - its going to be a losing margin business ahead with lower sick enrollments left IMHO get out while you can out of this eroding shrinking business IMHO

$CNC when Medicaid HMOs show lower MLRs the states underwrite lower premiums for them since they can't justify higher state underwriting premiums so they can only make money by cutting admin costs - its a cycle of up and downs and the down cycle is only about to come soon - in other words dont believe their earnings they are just a product of over and under reserves hitting the periods they report get out before the dis-enrollments really hit hard IMHO it's all an accountants actuarialist game of pumping up the earnings when they previously over reserved - its not real for tuure periods IMHO

$CNC IMHO CNC MLR hasn't improved as much as the lead you to believe IMHO they over reserved for prior periods offsetting the current periods in reality their MLR hasn't improved that much and now that ICE is not as aggressive with their scare tactics medicaid patients will be rolling back in for care - IMHO the financial tricks of the HMO industry to make themselves beat MLR and earnings - get out before Trump pounds the Medicaid HMOs IMHO
