CVS Health anticipates higher medical costs in Q4, potentially impacting its stock and other health insurers. The company's CFO warns of a potential increase in the medical benefit ratio, attributed to factors like Medicare Advantage usage and changes in Medicare spending. Healthcare spending is projected to rise, with retail prescription drugs spending expected to grow, but at a slower rate due to a decline in private health insurance.
