Q: On Oct 22, concerning ELV's quarterly results, you said, "a key issue was the 'timing mismatch' between Medicaid reimbursement rates and the higher healthcare needs of members" - an issue linked to post-COVID resumption of full-service healthcare.
But isn't this a case of 'one-off' cyclicality in an industry which was assumed to be secular? In which case, doesn't ELV become mis-priced as reimbursements and higher needs fall back into balance?
Finally, to operationalize this strategy, would it be preferable to seek-out the most beaten-down health insurer (perhaps you have suggestions), or to pick something like IHF (ditto)?
