Obamacare Insurer Oscar Health, Hit By Higher Costs, Sees 2026 Rebound

Oscar Health, a major player in the health insurance industry, recently announced a second-quarter loss of $228 million. Despite this setback, the company remains optimistic about returning to profitability next year as it navigates challenges posed by an influx of sicker-than-expected patients.

With over 2 million health plan members, Oscar Health is renowned for providing individual coverage under the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. In the second quarter, the company saw a 28% increase in total membership, surpassing the 2 million mark. This growth contributed to a 29% rise in total revenue, reaching nearly $2.9 billion.

However, the second-quarter loss of $228.4 million marked a significant decline compared to the previous year when the company reported a profit of $56.2 million. The health insurance industry, including companies like Oscar, has been grappling with higher costs and lower profit forecasts, prompting plans to raise rates next year to offset expenses incurred by a sicker patient pool.

The rise in healthcare costs can be attributed to various factors, including a surge in demand for medical services following the COVID-19 pandemic. Oscar Health specifically cited an increase in sick patients previously covered under Medicaid, while healthier individuals are opting out of the individual market.

The company’s medical loss ratio, which indicates the percentage of premiums spent on medical care, spiked to 91.1% in the second quarter from 79% in the previous year. Despite these challenges, Oscar Health’s CEO, Mark Bertolini, remains confident in the future of the individual health insurance market.

Bertolini expressed optimism about the market’s long-term potential, emphasizing Oscar’s strategic positioning to navigate the current market dynamics. He anticipates a stabilization of the market in 2026, with a return to profitability on the horizon. The company aims to transform the individual market into a comprehensive healthcare marketplace, catering to a wider range of consumers and businesses to drive long-term growth.
