UnitedHealth sees 10 percent jump in profit
UnitedHealth Group Inc. said Thursday its fourth-quarter profit rose 10 percent, trumping Wall Street expectations, as premiums climbed and a drop in health care use continued to help the insurer. UnitedHealth Group is the parent of United HealthCare, its health insurance arm, which provides coverage to about 1 million people in Wisconsin. (AP, 1/21)
