Ambetter's parent company had about 53,900 employees at the end of September, down from 59,800 three months earlier, after layoffs and buyouts. It covers 25.7 million people, down about 2.3 million from a year ago, and says higher ACA prices will help its finances in 2027. Members' coverage isn't directly affected, but check your plan's network before you renew.
