UnitedHealth deals with problems due to a leader's death and increasing healthcare costs.

UnitedHealth, a big health insurance company, made more money than expected in the last part of 2024. But, the cost of healthcare went up more than expected, which worried investors.

This news came after the sad death of Brian Thompson, a leader at UnitedHealth. He was shot outside a hotel in New York City, and people talked about the problems with healthcare in America.

UnitedHealth said they paid for a lot of medical care for their customers. This was more than what experts thought they would pay, and it was because of expensive drugs and other costs.

Even with these costs, UnitedHealth still made a profit of $6.81 for every share they have. They also made $100.8 billion in total sales, but that was a little less than expected.

UnitedHealth is a big company that provides health insurance to lots of people. They also have other parts of their business that help people get medicine and healthcare.
