Largest Health Insurer Forecasts Growth in Medicare Advantage Plans for Elderly

Specifically, the insurer noted at an annual investor conference that it  expects it will add around 800,000 members. Although this increase in membership comes as a welcomed reception, yesterday (Monday, November 29) the company noted that it expects “earnings per share” to drop of around 8%. This number, however, was not more than Wall Street expected.
