UnitedHealth Group Inc., the largest private health insurer and employer of physicians in the U.S., is facing scrutiny from lawmakers and regulators over its size, operations, and a recent cyberattack, The Washington Post reports. Critics argue that the company's growth and acquisitions have led to increased costs for consumers and potential national security risks. The cyberattack in February on a UnitedHealth subsidiary, which processes over 40% of the nation's medical claims, has prompted congressional hearings.
