United Healtcare - cutting 1 million subscribers? Really?
I think that if I was a Wells Fargo for a bunch of years, I wouldn't have thought of this.
Do you recall the Wells Fargo fake accounts scandal? They were caught creating 3.5 million fake bank accounts in the names of its customers without their knowledge or consent.

And then Wells Fargo was fined $3 billion dollars for creating those accounts.

Why I bring up Wells Fargo scandal:
United Healthcare announced that it will be cutting a million of its clisnts.
A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from United Healthcare acknowledging that I had signed up with them.
I never signed up with them. I ignored the email.
Last week, I received another email saying that they had billed my VISA to pay my UnitedHealthcare payment.
I called United Healthcare. After talking to the rep for some time, it was decided that there really was no account. No matter what the email said, there really was no account. Best to contact VISA and get identification numbers for the transaction.
Then I looked at the email. It said that the my VISA with the last 4 digits of XXXX was billed. Then I realized that I had canceled that VISA several years ago. I thought I might've been hacked. So they really didn't bill me.
So it's either United Healthcare pumping up the numbers arificially before claiming that they had trimmed a million health plan customers or ...
The hackers were doing more dirty work.
