Health Care Declines as UnitedHealth Slides - Health Care Roundup

December 06, 2024 at 05:42 pm EST

Health-care companies fell amid concerns about rising discontent with the U.S. health-care system.

UnitedHealth Group shares slid after reports that the brutal killing of insurance unit chief executive Brian Thompson may have been inspired by critiques of the health-insurance industry's coverage practices.

In one response to an apparent backlash, Elevance Health's Anthem reversed a decision to change limits on reimbursing customers for the cost of anesthesia in several states following opposition from a medical group.
