Major US insurance stocks fell 3-13% in extended trading Monday after the Trump administration proposed a minimal 0.09% Medicare Advantage rate increase for 2027, far below Wall Street's 4-6% expectations. Humana dropped 13%, CVS Health fell 10%, and UnitedHealth declined 9%, pressuring Dow futures by 150 points. The proposal would add over $700 million in payments to Medicare Advantage plans, with final decisions typically made in April.
