Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the Registration Statement) of GoHealth, Inc. (the Company). Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein will have the meanings assigned to them in the Registration Statement. The Company hereby advises the staff (the Staff) of the Securities and Exchange Commission that it intends to file a pre-effective amendment to the Registration Statement with a preliminary prospectus that will include the following preliminary estimated financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2020:
Our results for the three months ended June 30, 2020 are not yet available. Below we have presented preliminary estimated ranges of certain of our financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2020, based solely on preliminary information currently available to management. We have not yet completed our closing procedures for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The preliminary estimated ranges of certain of our financial results set forth below have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, management and are based on a number of assumptions. Our independent registered public accounting firm has not audited, reviewed, compiled, or performed any procedures with respect to our results for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Our actual results may differ materially from these estimates due to the completion of our financial closing procedures, final adjustments and other developments that may arise between now and the time the financial results for our interim period are finalized. You should not place undue reliance on these preliminary estimates. In addition, the preliminary estimated financial results set forth below are not necessarily indicative of results we may achieve in any future period. See Risk Factors, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements for additional information regarding factors that could result in differences between the preliminary estimated ranges of certain of our financial results that are presented below and the actual financial results we will report.

We include Adjusted EBITDA in this prospectus for the reasons as described in Summary Historical and Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial and Other Data. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not reflect all expense items that affect our results. These and other limitations are described in Summary Historical and Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial and Other Data. We encourage you to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.
We have provided a range for the preliminary results described above primarily because our financial closing procedures for the three months ended June 30, 2020 are not yet complete. As a result, there is a possibility that our final results will vary materially from these preliminary estimates. We currently expect that our final results will be within the ranges described above. It is possible, however, that our final results will not be within the ranges we currently estimate. We undertake no obligation to update or supplement the information provided above until we release our results of operation for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Ernst & Young LLP has not audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to this financial data. Accordingly, Ernst & Young LLP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.
