Like Costco, Walmart will sell Medicare Advantage plans
Why now
Thesis: Walmart joining Costco in Medicare Advantage distribution
Catalyst to watch: Enrollment growth and health segment margins
Main risk: Regulatory and margin complexity
Why it matters
Retailers entering Medicare Advantage distribution expands their health services footprint but adds regulatory and margin complexity.
Details
Walmart will sell Medicare Advantage plans as part of a new partnership with a nonprofit health insurer.
