<p>The modest <a href=compensation increases come as the company recently told ⁠an unspecified ‌number of workers they were ⁠being laid off, Bloomberg reported, citing the person.

UnitedHealth did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

The company earlier this year said 2026 revenue ‌would decline for the first time in decades.

The company’s shares ⁠were also pressured after the Trump administration proposed a much smaller-than-expected increase to 2027 Medicare Advantage rates.
