a result of the undersigned's ownership of or transactions in securities
of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (the "Company") at any date following

in Company securities, any powers of attorney the undersigned may have
granted under the plan to sign or file on the undersigned's behalf any
Form 144 shall continue to be in full force and effect in accordance with
the terms of the plan. The undersigned acknowledges that neither the
Company nor an attorney-in-fact is assuming any of the undersigned's
