The problem with Medicare Market is that the Seniors consume considerable resources. HMOs have traditionally made their money by insuring the younger, healthier population. Funding for Medicare will only be reduced in the future as the Govt. looks to balance the budget.

OXHP's entry into the Medicaid Market has not been profitable.

Bottom line is that OXHP is seriously evaluating whether to be in this market or not ?
