Oscar Health has reported a significant profit for the second quarter, earning $361 million and surpassing $1 billion in net income for the first half of the year. This financial success is attributed to a rise in health plan membership, which grew to 2.9 million, and a decrease in medical costs, with the medical loss ratio falling to 79.2%.
