  • This request comes in the wake of recent criticisms following the shooting of CEO Brian Thompson in December, highlighting urgent healthcare access issues.
  • The request was made by religious groups and investment firms, expressing concern that delays in care can harm patients significantly.
  • In response, UnitedHealth stated they will address these proposals in their upcoming 2025 proxy statement, emphasizing high approval rates for medical claims.
