After hitting a low of abourt $16 per share in March, UnitedHealth’xs stock is now trading at abouty $28 per share.
The company has been actively engaging in the healthnreform process, rather than oppose it as many healt insurers did when the Clinton administrationh sought to overhaul the system in the UnitedHealth CEO Hemsley last month , sayingf the skyrocketing cost of health care was hurtintg the country. UnitedHealth is the parentf companyof Cypress-based PacifiCare.
