That is not what it means. It means they took losses on people who weren't insured. Say as a builder you put in costs for certain things. It is same thing. They put in costs but the people didn't sign up. It was projected money

Aetna is another company and another more clearly worded article on the reasons for the losses - selling plans to people in exchanges. Like I said previously these plans are unprofitable and unsustainable so they are leaving. Sicker people are eating up too many services for the money paid in basically.

And I'm a software developer not construction and buildings. I have a hard time hanging a picture frame straight and literally hurt myself with a small pry bar last year when we were having our house built and I tried to pitch in...I'd be dead trying that line of work.
