- 2. Cantor Fitzgerald analysts commented, "Change moves slower than expected. The individual market continues to struggle as many insurers have exited the ACA marketplaces and fewer consumers (without subsidies) have purchased plans. The company appears to be scaling back its efforts to sign up subsidy-eligible individuals and compete less for these individuals. EHTH is building up its offering of alternative insurance plans (i.e. benefit packages) to target consumers who cannot afford ACA health plans. These packages include short-term, critical illness, accident, and vision products. In addition to offering benefit packages, the company is now focused on small business. Many of these initiatives did not pay off in 2017 but the company continues to move ahead and transition its business model." (3/6/2018)
