Only the beginning
Not likely if you read beyond the headline of the article YOU posted the link to, and if you can read with....comprehension. WHOOPS!!
But keep trying until you get the hang of reading at oh say, the 8th grade level. Then you'll only have to learn about objectivity and context. LOL!

"We have full confidence, based on data, that the Marketplaces will continue to thrive for years ahead. The number of issuers per state has grown year-over-year," Health and Human Services spokesman Ben Wakana said in a statement released Monday morning. " The Marketplace should be judged by the choices it offers consumers, not the decisions of any one issuer."
Although UnitedHealth is the nation's biggest health insurer, it was slow to enter the exchanges in 2014, rolling out plans in just four states initially. In the call, executives said they cover 795,000 people through the exchanges and expect that number to drop to 650,000 by December. There are 12.7 million people insured through the state and federal marketplaces, according to the latest data.
Several observers said that while the decision is a clear signal of the troubles insurers face in making money in the marketplaces, it doesn't mean that other companies will follow suit.
So no, not 'just the beginning' you theorize but rather the 'free market' health insurance model that conservatives insisted upon, with no single payer functioning along side to see which performed better for the 'consumer', which is what a competitive health insurance market would/should do,
