Talk:UnitedHealth Group

message: User:Lewcm, thanks for helping with many of my recent requests. 
 
On behalf of UHG, I’d like to start addressing issues with the  section, which has multiple warning banners. Following is a request regarding the  subsection.
 
; Issue 
* The text in this subsection is not about a controversy or negative criticism of the company, so I would like to propose that this information be moved out of the  section. Perhaps it could be relocated as a separate section below the  section.
 
; Issue 
* When checked against the cited sources, I found that some of the dollar amounts in the text are inaccurate. The number of lobbying firms hired by UnitedHealth Group also does not match the cited source. 
 
; Issue 
* I would also like to propose that the phrase  be removed, as it is unsourced. 
 
; Issue 
* I would also like to propose that the text  be deleted, as it is unrelated to UnitedHealth Group’s lobbying activity. 
 
; Updated text
* Here is the corrected text I am proposing for the relocated Lobbying section.
 
In 2009, according to OpenSecrets, people affiliated with UnitedHealth Group gave $4.77 million to political candidates and groups. The Affordable Care Act was being discussed in Congress at the time and was subsequently passed in the first quarter of 2010. In 2010 UnitedHealth Group hired nine different lobbying firms to work on its behalf. In addition, its corporate political action committee, called United for Health, spent an additional $1 million on lobbying activities. UnitedHealth Group subsequently spent $3.09 million to $4.94 million from 2011 to 2021.

text: , I have done the last two requests, but please double check the figures you provided in the rest of the edit request. Additionally, I can't locate where in the source it says that nine lobbying firms were hired. Once you have completed changes, please reopen this edit request.

thread_title:  Key people in infobox 

message: On behalf of UHG, I would like to address an issue involving misplaced and inaccurate text in the  section.
 
; Issue 
* The second and fourth paragraphs in the  section are both highlighting the same UHF initiative. The third paragraph is misplaced between them, as it highlights the UHCCF, a separate foundation affiliated with UnitedHealth Group.  
 
; Issue 
* The text in the fourth paragraph refers to the UHF initiative as a  providing scholarships to  students, which is incorrect and not supported by the cited source. The paragraph also needs a few edits to help clarify the text.
 
Based on the issues listed above, I am proposing that editors consider:
 
* Combining the second and fourth paragraphs. 
 
* Clarifying and correcting the new combined paragraph with the changes as indicated below:
 
UHF pledged $100 million over ten years to fund scholarships and workforce development programs focused on increasing ethnic and racial diversity within the health care industry. UHF's investment will support 10,000 physicians from  communities: 5,000 students with a primary care focus and 5,000 physicians  in mental health, nursing, midwifery  medicine. The work of this fund is part of a  initiative in which UnitedHealth Group has teamed up with nine organizations to provide scholarships to more than 3,000 students through the Diverse Scholars Initiative. 
Thank you for helping to clarify this information! Barbara at UHG (talk) 20:58, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
