Aetna (owned by CVS Health) has announced its decision to stop offering individual and family plans on the ACA Marketplace starting in 2026. This strategic move is primarily driven by their assessment that the ACA Marketplace business was not meeting their financial performance expectations, and they were facing ongoing challenges in sustaining profitability within this specific market. They are choosing to focus their efforts on other health benefit solutions where they believe they can provide greater value and achieve better financial results.
