Then, things really started taking off in 2020. While the world was facing a global pandemic, United succeeded in 💥TRIPLING💥 their stock price over 5 years. They expanded beyond insurance and doctors and bought up administrative and financial entities to grease the wheels.

Five years later, in 2015, the company added nearly 200 subsidiaries to their umbrella including pharmacies and clinicians. As they grew, so did their stock price. The bigger the company became, the more money CEOs and shareholders made.

In 2010, UnitedHealth was number 22 on the Fortune 500 list, and their stock price was a little over 25 bucks per share. It included now-familiar name brands like UnitedHealth Care.

WHY DOES IT MATTER? Short answer: When you look at a website to find your doctor, there's a good chance UnitedHealth Group is pointing you to their doctor. AND, all of this info being integrated poses major data privacy risks for patients and providers.

United’s Subsidiaries 'Care Services' and 'Solaris' also have ownership stakes. This means that UnitedHealth Group owns 50.003% of RVO (just enough to control everything they do).
