Health insurance companies lost money selling policies in theindividual market again last year, as premiums from healthy peopleweren’t enough to cover the costs of the sick. The red ink is a bigreason why companies such as Aetna Inc. and UnitedHealth GroupInc. left the Affordable Care Act marketplaces inseveral states this year.

Now, the bill that Senate Republicans hope will repeal Obamacare includes a pile of money tohelp struggling insurers in those marketplaces, where about12.2 million Americans got coverage this year. Specifically, itincludes $50 billion over the next four years “to fund arrangementswith health insurance issuers to address coverage and accessdisruption and respond to urgent health care needs,” according tothe bill text.

That’s more than enough to cover the industry’s Obamacarelosses, new data released Friday by consulting firmMcKinsey & Co. indicates. Health plans lost between$5.5 billion and $7.5 billion on the individual market in 2016,according to McKinsey’s analysis of regulatory filings.
