User:Spintendo has closed five requests above and asked me to include "one template per section per request" (which I thought I had done correctly). Since the proposed content changes were not actually reviewed, I am re-submitting this request for the "Legal issues" section.
The first paragraph of "Legal issues" says:
"Legal issues"
|
---|
In 2006, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) began investigating the conduct of UnitedHealth Group's management and directors, for backdating of stock options. Investigations were also begun by the Internal Revenue Service and prosecutors in the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York, who subpoenaed documents from the company. The investigations came to light after a series of probing stories in the Wall Street Journal in May 2006, discussing apparent backdating of hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of stock options by UHC management. The backdating apparently occurred with the knowledge and approval of the directors, according to the Journal. Major shareholders have filed lawsuits accusing former New Jersey governor Thomas Kean and UHC's other directors of failing in their fiduciary duty. On October 15, 2006, CEO William W. McGuire was forced to resign, and relinquish hundreds of millions of dollars in stock options. On December 6, 2007, the SEC announced a settlement under which McGuire will repay $468 million, as a partial settlement of the backdating prosecution. |
Further down, there's another section ( "Investigations and lawsuits") with very similar text:
"Investigations and lawsuits"

In 2006, the SEC began investigating the conduct of UnitedHealth Group's management and directors, including Dr. McGuire, as did the Internal Revenue Service and prosecutors in the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York, who have subpoenaed documents from the company. The investigations came to light after a series of probing stories in The Wall Street Journal in March 2006, discussing the apparent backdating of hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of stock options—in a process called options backdating—by UnitedHealth Group management. The backdating apparently occurred with the knowledge and approval of the directors, according to the Journal. Major shareholders have filed lawsuits accusing former New Jersey governor Thomas Kean and UnitedHealth Group's other directors of failing in their fiduciary duty. |
Then, the next section ("Resignation of McGuire") says:
"Resignation of McGuire"
|
---|
On October 15, 2006, it was announced that William W. McGuire would step down immediately as chairman and director of UnitedHealth Group, and step down as CEO on December 1, 2006, due to his involvement in the employee stock options scandal. Simultaneously, it was announced that he would be replaced as CEO by Stephen Hemsley, who has served as president and COO and is a member of the board of directors. McGuire's exit compensation from UnitedHealth, expected to be around $1.1 billion, would be the largest golden parachute in the history of corporate America. |
Unless there's a reason the text should appear twice in the same section, I am hoping User:CNMall41 and other editors can address this issue.

Thanks again for your help, Spintendo. On behalf of UHG, I'd like to request an update to the key people listed in the infobox.
Per the company's board of directors list, Larry Renfro should be removed from the infobox and Stephen J. Hemsley's role should be changed to simply "Chair".
Per the company's executive management team list, Andrew Witty is correctly identified as CEO, but I suggest adding Dirk McMahon as President and COO and John Rex as CFO.
If news sources are preferred, this Reuters article confirms Dirk McMahon's appointment in 2021 and this Reuters article confirms John Rex's appointment in 2016.
Thanks for addressing this issue and updating the infobox for me! Barbara at UHG ( talk) 19:59, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Thanks again, Spintendo, for reviewing. Next, I'd like to request an update to the "Legal issues" section on behalf of UHG. I suggest updating the Change Healthcare paragraph, which mentions the Justice Department's lawsuit without offering any sort of conclusion.
According to Reuters, "A U.S. judge denied the department's bid in September, paving the way for the October completion of the all-cash deal. The department then appealed the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia." The article also confirms that the Justice Department dismissed its own appeal in March 2023.
Could an editor please update the article appropriately? Otherwise, the article suggests the lawsuit is unresolved. Thank you in advance. - Barbara at UHG ( talk) 16:40, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
The court documents do not provide any details as to why the parties abandoned the challenge. The writing should not imply, as might be interpreted by laymen, that this means the DOJ's case was unwarranted or failed: instead, it should simply reflect the fact that we don't have details.

Hello again! I had assumed editors might prefer to update the article with their own interpretation of the source, but per Spintendo's request for specification above, I'm happy to re-submit a request to update the Change Healthcare paragraph, which mentions the Justice Department's lawsuit without offering any sort of conclusion.
To clarify, I am not seeking to remove any information. I am just trying to update the existing outdated text. Reuters mentions the February lawsuit then confirms three updates:
If I'm expected to provide specific excerpts as evidence, the article says:
To me, a basic and neutral article addition to the existing text would be:

Big thanks to Spintendo for assisting with the above request. I am pleased to see the article updated appropriately. I'd now like to focus on the Foundations section, which says:
References
There is a "how?" tag seeking specificity, and the text is sourced to a dead UHG URL.
I suggest replacing with the following, which is a neutral summary of UHG's philanthropic efforts based on reliable secondary coverage, with subsections dedicated to the two foundations:
Since 2011, UnitedHealth Group has invested approximately $800 million in affordable housing. [1] [2] In 2020, the company announced a $100 million investment to fund the construction of 1,000 new houses in Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington, D.C., over two years. [3] Following the 2020 murder of George Floyd, UnitedHealth Group pledged $10 million to support his children and local businesses impacted by protests and racial unrest, as well as $5 million to the YMCA Equity Innovation Center of Excellence. [4]
Foundations affiliated with UnitedHealth Group include the United Health Foundation (UHF) and the UnitedHealthcare Children's Foundation (UHCCF), both of which were established in 1999. [5] [6]
According to Twin Cities Business magazine, UHF "provides resources aimed at improving access to care and better health outcomes". [5]
In 2022, UHF pledged $100 million to fund scholarships and workforce development programs focused on increasing ethnic and racial diversity within the healthcare industry over ten years, [7] [8] donated $1 million to help Florida residents following Hurricane Ian via the Florida Disaster Fund, [9] and launched a grant program with Active Minds to reduce anxiety, depression, and suicide among young adults. [10]
UHF established grant partnerships with multiple organizations in 2023, including: the American Nurses Foundation to address nurse burnout; [11] Children's Minnesota to provide underserved families in Minneapolis–Saint Paul with access to pediatric care for asthma as well as mental health services and vaccinations; [12] the NC Statewide Telepsychiatry Program to expand virtual mental health services for children in North Carolina, [13] the Rainbow Health Initiative to provide mental health, substance abuse, and other services to 250 youth and young adults within the LGBT community; [14] [15] and the American Indian College Fund to launch its Diversity in Health Care Scholarship Program, which seeks to reduce health disparities in Native American communities and provides scholarships to Native students becoming health professionals. [16]
UHCCF administers grants to help pay for medical costs for families with coverage gaps. [17] [18] Between 2007 and 2019, the foundation awarded 19,500 grants valued at $48 million to families in the U.S. [19] In addition to funding provided by UnitedHealthcare, its partners, and other donors, UHCCF raises money for medical grants by selling calendars, children's literature and joke books primarily written by children, as well as toys. [20] The first joke book, Little Book-Big Laughs, was published in 2014. Two more were published in 2015, followed by three in 2017. [21]References
More could be said about both UHF and UHCCF, which have funded many charitable activities. There remain many issues with this article, but I appreciate continued help from Spintendo, User:voorts, and User:CNMall41. Thanks, Barbara at UHG ( talk) 20:49, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

@ Spintendo: I am sorry to see the previously proposed text rejected. I was just trying to address the "how?" tag in the current "Foundations" section by providing overviews of the foundations and other philanthropic work. If editors prefer not to add any additional detail at this time, then can I at least re-submit a request to address the issues with current text?
Right now the section directs readers to a dead company URL. The following replacement text at least offers functioning sources for verifying the foundations and establishment date:
References
I'll let others decide if the "how?" text should be kept or removed.
There remain quite a few issues with this article, as evidenced by User:CNMall41's comment above and the various warning banners on the page), so I will try to continue suggesting possible improvements.
