Humana is discontinuing Medicare Advantage plans covering 600,000 enrollees in 2027, the latest in a wave of insurer exits. An estimated 2.9 million people, or 1 in 10 Advantage enrollees, had to switch coverage this year, up from 6.9% in 2025. Those affected must secure new plans by February or revert to traditional Medicare. Insurers cite lower government payments and rising costs as reasons for pulling back. About 99% of displaced enrollees found replacement plans last year, though new options may differ in providers, benefits, and rules.
