The CVS and Aetna merger, completed in November 2018, combined CVS Health's pharmacy services with Aetna's health insurance, aiming to create a more integrated and accessible healthcare model.

CVS Health plans to exit the individual health insurance business also known as Obamacare next year, leaving about 1 million Aetna members in 17 states looking for new coverage in 2026.

The decision, disclosed Thursday, a day when CVS reported nearly $1.8 billion in net income amid a financial turnaround, comes as a relatively new management team works to get rising healthcare costs in its Aetna brand health insurance plans under control.

“The company decided to exit the individual exchange business where Aetna independently operates ACA plans for 2026,” CVS said in a statement Thursday accompanying its first quarter earnings report regarding coverage that its Aetna health insurance unit sells under the Affordable Care Act known as Obamacare.

CVS Health said on Wednesday its Aetna insurance business will pull back its Medicare Advantage offerings next year, operating prescription drug plans in 100 fewer counties than 2025.

The company will provide plans in 43 states and Washington D.C. and 2,159 counties for 2026, down from 44 states and 2,259 counties in 2025.

CVS Health has the fourth-largest Medicare Advantage business for people aged 65 and older or with disabilities, following rivals UnitedHealth, Humana and Centene. The government pays private insurers to operate the plans.

Bump

Value City Furniture is another retailer closing all locations. Unless I'm mistaken, it's due to the parent company filing for bankruptcy.

Also I will mention that the Gabe's department store in my area has closed.

JCPenney may be announcing some closures, we'll have to see. Here are some other stores I found online that have faced trouble:

Macy's: Plans to close around 150 underperforming stores by 2026 (Source: The Street)

Inditex: Closed 132 stores in 2025 (Source: Inditex)

Claire's: Closed nearly 300 U.S. stores after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2025 (Source: Delaware bankruptcy court files)

More and more places closing. But on the other hand, the stores themselves have gotten too big. The square footage is huge in stores. 100 years ago store were size postage stamps compared to today and you has smaller stores in local cities. We had 2 mom and pop drug stores 60 years ago, but no more for parking plays a bit part and these were in more walkable areas back then. . Everyone drives further now for items.

Victoria's Secret and Macy's may be following the trend of malls failing. Same with JC Penney; their older stores are gigantic. I was in a huge Macy's recently and was surprised at how bustling it was on a Thursday afternoon. But by now it's one of only two Macy's in the Indianapolis area.

Some of this trend is rightsizing. Macy's, for example.

Other large retailers never gobbled up other chains, and are thriving--think Dillard's. Now there's a smart retailer. And with an excellent website for e-tailing.

Mishawaka Indiana (sister city of South Bend) still has their Macy's and JCPenney, one of each. The other anchor store of the enclosed mall they're in is Barnes & Noble.

You're right, they're gigantic stores.
