Summary

Centene Corporation has announced that it will lay off most of its 61,000 employees due to significant financial pressures stemming from Medicaid cuts and losses related to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This decision reflects the company's ongoing challenges in the healthcare sector, which have been exacerbated by recent policy changes. The layoffs are part of a broader restructuring effort aimed at stabilizing the company's financial situation.
