UnitedHealth (UNH) Group has become one of the highest stock market values in the nation within the past decade and a half, but in the last two years, misfortune has hit the company, Reed Abelson of The New York Times reports. A massive cyberattack, federal investigations, the killing of a top executive, lower profits, falling stock price, a public relations crisis, and the abrupt shift in CEO back in May have all caused a collapse of confidence among many investors and the public. It is not yet clear what the company can do to repair its image, and the public is skeptical it can deliver better care without milking profits from the system.
