Healthcare Changes: What's Next for UnitedHealth?

UnitedHealth's stock took a hit after President Trump's recent talk about healthcare. He mentioned a new plan to cut out insurance brokers and middlemen. This could lower healthcare costs for people, but it's not great news for UnitedHealth. The company makes money from these brokers and middlemen. If they're gone, UnitedHealth might earn less. Plus, the plan might also limit how much UnitedHealth can charge for insurance, which could hurt its profits.But not everyone thinks this is bad news for UnitedHealth. Some experts still think the company's stock will go up. They believe UnitedHealth is getting rid of parts of its business that don't make money. They also think the stock is cheap compared to how much the company could earn in the future. These experts believe the stock could rise by a huge 80% in the next three years. Plus, UnitedHealth pays a nice dividend, which is another reason to invest. Other experts aren't as excited, but they still think UnitedHealth is a good buy. Most say it's a "Moderate Buy, " with a target price that's about 21% higher than where it is now. So, while Trump's plan might seem like bad news, some see it as a chance for UnitedHealth to bounce back and grow.
