UnitedHealth recently announced that it will be leaving California's individual health market at the end of this year.
UnitedHealth's announcement comes on the heels of a similar announcement by Aetna last month. Both UnitedHealth and Aetna will remain in California's group market.
UnitedHealth and Aetna combined account for approximately 7% of California's individual health market, while Blue Shield of California, Anthem Blue Cross and Kaiser Permenente, collectively, account for approximately 87% of California's individual market.
