What more likely to happen IMO (if the current relationship have to change drastically towards the worse for MDF) to MDF is HUM will buy MDF at a depressed price (with the threat of leaving MDF altogether if MDF doesn't accept the bid).
It's not easy to open a PSN service in the MDF established area (of similar network coverage) for HUM to switch to.
And again I think it is a win win situation for HUM and MDF right now, so I don't think HUM will risk, just to squeeze a bit more profit.
and if you see MDF is a low margin business. high sales and low bottom line profit, while HUM is higher margin (they take their cut and let MDF carry the risk).
And in some ways I think HUM will be better off if MDF is doing well. If MDF is about to go under, HUM will get a headache on figuring out where will I move their patient (Medicare members), and taking them into HUM network (and possibly have to open or subcontract other PSN in the area could probably a headache for them and their members).
This is all just my opinion.
