User:Lewcm, thanks for helping with many of my recent requests.
On behalf of UHG, I’d like to start addressing issues with the Criticism and controversies section, which has multiple warning banners. Following is a request regarding the Lobbying subsection.
In 2009, according to OpenSecrets, people affiliated with UnitedHealth Group gave $4.77 million to political candidates and groups. [1] 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. [2] In addition, its corporate political action committee, called United for Health, spent an additional $1 million on lobbying activities. [3] UnitedHealth Group subsequently spent $3.09 million to $4.94 million from 2011 to 2021. [1]

Thank you for making the correction to the Lobbying subsection. I would now like to request an update to information in the History section.
The History section highlights our October 2012 acquisition in Brazil. We have recently sold our operations in Brazil. I would like to propose the following update be added to the 2020s-present subsection in the History section.

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
On behalf of UHG, I would like to request removal of the graphic of the LHI buildings that is posted in the History section.
This graphic includes not only a photo of the former LHI buildings, but when a user clicks to expand the photo, they can scroll to additional pages that display the UnitedHealthcare and UnitedHealth Group logos.
Thank you for removing this graphic from the History section. Barbara at UHG ( talk) 21:38, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
This graphic includes not only a photo of the former LHI buildings, but when a user clicks to expand the photo, they can scroll to additional pages that display the UnitedHealthcare and UnitedHealth Group logos.
UnitedHealthcare is not associated with LHI, so the UnitedHealthcare logo that is part of the graphic is misleading and inappropriate.
The photo and caption are outdated, as LHI is now part of Optum and has been renamed Optum Serve. As a result, the photo seems irrelevant.
To answer your questions:
When I click on the image in the live UnitedHealth Group article, the image expands and I see an arrow on the right side of the image and also on the left side of the image. When I click on the arrow on the right side of the image, it displays the UnitedHealthcare logo. If I click on the arrow on the left side of the image, it displays the UnitedHealth Group logo.
After further examination, I realize the arrows are directing users to other images displayed within the article. For example, users can toggle to the image of the company's logo in the infobox, as well as the UnitedHealthcare logo in the Organizational structure section. I apologize for misunderstanding the graphic!
I think your suggested edit for the caption sounds good.
Thank you for your patience and for making the update to the caption! Barbara at UHG ( talk) 19:26, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

The user below has a request that an edit be made to
UnitedHealth Group. That user has an
actual or apparent
conflict of interest. The requested edits backlog is high. Please be very patient. There are currently 164 requests waiting for review. Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is well sourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipedia guidelines and policies. |
On behalf of UHG, I would like to address an issue involving misplaced and inaccurate text in the Foundations section.
Based on the issues listed above, I am proposing that editors consider:
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 underrepresented communities: 5,000 students with a primary care focus and 5,000 physicians who want to advance careers in mental health, nursing, midwifery and medicine. The work of this fund is part of a broader 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)
