    Moodys downgrades health insurers

    January 23, 2014

    Major credit-rating firm Moody’s on Thursday downgraded the outlook for health insurers from stable to negative, citing the new health-care law’s botched rollout as a significant factor.

    Moody’s highlighted the relatively low sign-up rate among young adults and a slew of last-minute regulatory changes by the Obama administration as posing risks to health insurers selling policies on the new exchanges.

    Don't worry about what you can't change.
    Do the best you can with what you have.
    Be honest, even if it hurts.

    But I thought the insurers stood to make profits for years?

      Patiently waiting on the indictment or charges brought upon Moody's by the Justice Dept now for something...ANYTHING.

          Regardless of whether or not Moody's was getting audited before or after they released the downgrading, a trend has already been established that if you speak out, speak ill of, or you're just doing your business and your business happens to cast a negative light on the LIC, you're getting audited.

          At least that's how it seems.

              I literally paused & thought about that as I was writing that post... At least I'll have company (like about 1/2 this board)

                The gov't is going to get Moody's on-message, one way or another.
