(Bloomberg) -- Oscar Insurance, the health-insurance startupfocused on selling Obamacare plans, posted a smaller first-halfloss than a year earlier, according to state regulatoryfilings.

Oscar, whose co-founders include Joshua Kushner and MarioSchlosser, lost $57.6 million in the first half of the year inTexas, New York and California.

That’s down from $83 million a year earlier. In Texas andCalifornia, the company brought in more in premiums than it spenton care, though in New York its health costs still exceededpremiums.

Going into this year, Oscar scaled back its offerings, raisedthe premiums it charges and narrowed its networks of doctors andhospitals in an effort to improve financial results.

It’s expanding again for 2018, with plans to enter Tennessee,Ohio and New Jersey, and push into new areas of Texas andCalifornia.

Many for-profit insurers have exited the AffordableCare Act’s markets after recording losses.

The Trump administration, where Joshua Kushner’s brother Jaredis a top adviser, has also added to the uncertainty.

President Donald Trump has threatened to cut offsome subsidies to insurers, and the administration hasn’t madeclear how it’ll enforce the health law’s requirement that allpeople buy insurance or pay a fine.

As of June 30, Oscar had 43,618 customers in New York, 30,713 inTexas, and 10,417 in California, according to the regulatoryfilings.
