the notes. The following discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, United States Treasury Regulations, rulings and
pronouncements of the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, and judicial decisions in effect as of the date of this prospectus supplement, any of which subsequently may be changed, possibly retroactively, or interpreted differently by the IRS, so as to
result in United States federal income tax consequences different from those discussed below. The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a tax bill that, if enacted into law in its current form, would add new Section&nbsp;899 to the Code.
Proposed Section&nbsp;899 could significantly increase the aggregate tax liability of certain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">&#147;non-United</FONT> States Holders&#148; (as defined below) with respect to their investment in the notes. <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Non-United</FONT> States Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of proposed Section&nbsp;899 with respect to their investment in the notes. </P>

of such holder&#146;s particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as financial institutions, insurance companies, dealers in securities or currencies, partnerships or other pass-through entities, expatriates, <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> organizations, persons holding the notes as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion or constructive sale, or other integrated transaction for tax purposes, regulated investment companies, real estate
investment trusts, traders in securities that elect to use a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mark-to-market</FONT></FONT> method of accounting for their securities, former citizens or residents of the United States,
accrual method taxpayers that are required to recognize income for United States federal income tax purposes no later than when such income is taken into account in applicable financial statements, and &#147;United States Holders&#148; (as defined
below) with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. In addition, this summary deals only with a note held as a &#147;capital asset&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1221 of the Code by a beneficial owner who purchases the note on
original issuance at the first price at which a substantial amount of the notes of that series are sold for cash to persons other than bond houses, brokers or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters, placement agents
or wholesalers, which we refer to as the &#147;issue price.&#148; Moreover, the effect of any alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on investment income, applicable state, local or foreign tax laws or of United States federal tax law other than

likelihood that we will be required to make such payments is remote as of the issue date of the notes and therefore that these provisions do not cause the notes to be treated as &#147;contingent payment debt instruments&#148; within the meaning of
the applicable Treasury Regulations. However, additional income will be recognized by a holder of notes if any such additional payment is made. Our position that the contingencies described above are remote is binding on a holder, unless the holder
discloses in the proper manner to the IRS that it is taking a different position. If the IRS successfully challenged our position, then the notes could be treated as contingent payment debt instruments, in which case holders could be required to
accrue interest income at a rate higher than the stated interest rate on the notes and to treat as ordinary income, rather than capital gain, any gain recognized on a sale, exchange, retirement or redemption of a note. The remainder of this

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In this section, the terms &#147;we,&#148; &#147;our,&#148; &#147;us&#148; and &#147;UnitedHealth Group&#148; refer solely to UnitedHealth
Group Incorporated and not its subsidiaries. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will issue the debt securities under the indenture dated as of February&nbsp;4, 2008
between us and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as the trustee. We refer to this indenture, as supplemented and amended, as the &#147;indenture&#148; and to the trustee under the indenture as the &#147;trustee.&#148; The indenture has
been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. The indenture has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement. References to &#147;debt securities&#148; are references to the debt securities that may be issued under the indenture.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This section describes the general terms and provisions of the indenture and the debt securities that may be offered by this prospectus.
The prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the series of the debt securities offered under that prospectus supplement and any general terms outlined in this section that will not apply to those debt securities. Because this is
only a summary, it does not contain all of the details found in the full text of the indenture and the debt securities. If you would like additional information, you should read the indenture. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by
the provisions of the indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>General </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The debt securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Debt securities issued under the indenture will be issued as part of
a series that we will have established pursuant to the indenture. Any series of debt securities may have terms that are different from other series. The indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of debt securities which we may issue
under the indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are not obligated to issue all of the debt securities of one or more series at the same time and, unless
otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, we may issue additional debt securities of a series without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of that series. Additional debt securities of a particular series will have the same terms
and conditions as outstanding debt securities of such series, except for the date of original issuance, the offering price and, in some cases, the first interest payment date, and will be consolidated with, and form a single series with, such
outstanding debt securities. The indenture permits additional debt securities of a series to be issued with original issue discount without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of that series. To the extent the terms of any series of
debt securities permit such an issuance, any conditions and material U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to that issuance will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless provided otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be issued only in registered form, without
coupons, in denominations of $1,000 each or multiples of $1,000. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Debt securities may be issued in the form of one or more global
securities, as described below under the heading &#147;&#151;&nbsp;Book-Entry Issuance, Clearing and Settlement.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There will be no
service charge for any registration of transfer or exchange of the debt securities, but we may require you to pay any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection with a transfer or exchange of the debt securities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, we will pay interest on the debt securities to the person listed as the owner of
the debt securities in the security register at the close of business on the regular record date for the applicable interest payment date. Defaulted interest, however, may be paid to holders as of special record dates established in the manner set
forth in the indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">All moneys deposited with the trustee or a paying agent, or then held by us, in trust for the payment of the

outstanding debt securities of a series with respect to that series or by us under certain circumstances by notice delivered to the trustee and us. The indenture also provides that the trustee must resign if it ceases to meet certain qualifications
set forth in the indenture. In the event of a trustee&#146;s resignation or removal, we or, if we fail to act, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of the applicable series may appoint a successor trustee.

transactions, such as transfers and pledges, among participants in deposited securities through electronic book-entry charges to accounts of its participants, thereby eliminating the need for

owners that are DTC participants may hold their interest in a global security directly through DTC. Beneficial owners that are not DTC participants may hold their interest in a global security indirectly through direct participants of DTC or through
certain clearing systems, banks, brokers, dealers, trust companies and other parties that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly, and have indirect access to DTC (each such entity
an &#147;indirect participant&#148;), including Euroclear Bank S.A./ N.V. and Clearstream Banking S.A. Unless and until definitive debt securities are issued, all references to actions by holders of debt securities issued in global form refer to
actions taken by DTC upon instructions from its participants, and all references herein to payments and notices to the holders refer to payments and notices to DTC or its nominee, as the registered holder of the offered debt securities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Beneficial interests in a global security will be shown on, and transfers of beneficial interests in the global security will be made only
through, records maintained by DTC and its participants, both direct and indirect. When you purchase debt securities through the DTC system, the purchases must be made by or through a direct DTC participant, which will receive credit for the debt
securities in its account on DTC&#146;s records. When you actually purchase the debt securities, you will become their beneficial owner. Your ownership interest will be recorded only on the direct or indirect DTC participants&#146; records. DTC will
have no knowledge of your individual ownership of the debt securities. DTC&#146;s records will show only the identity of the direct DTC participants and the amount of the debt securities held by or through them. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">You will not receive a written confirmation of your purchase or sale or any periodic account statement directly from DTC. You should instead
receive these confirmations and account statements from the direct or indirect DTC participant through which you purchase the debt securities. The direct or indirect DTC participants are responsible for keeping accurate account of the holdings of
their customers. The trustee will wire payments on the securities to the DTC nominee that is the registered holder of the debt securities. We and the trustee will treat DTC or its nominee as the owner of each global security for all purposes.
Accordingly, none of us, the trustee and any paying agent will have any direct responsibility or liability to pay amounts due on a global security to you or any other beneficial owners in that global security. Any redemption notices will be sent by
us directly to DTC or its nominee, which will, in turn, inform the direct DTC participants, which will then contact beneficial owners holding interests in the debt securities through them. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the rules, regulations and procedures creating and affecting DTC and its operations, DTC is required to make book-entry transfers
between direct DTC participants on whose behalf it acts with respect to the debt securities and is required to receive and transmit distributions of principal of and interest on the debt securities. Direct and indirect DTC participants with which
investors have accounts with respect to the debt securities similarly are required to make book-entry transfers and receive and transmit payments on behalf of their respective investors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As DTC can act only on behalf of direct DTC participants, who in turn act on behalf of indirect DTC participants and certain banks, the
ability of a beneficial owner of an interest in a debt security held in DTC to transfer or pledge that interest to persons or entities that do not participate in the DTC system, or otherwise take actions in respect of that interest, may be affected
by the lack of a physical certificate representing that interest. The laws of some states of the United States require that certain persons take physical delivery of securities in definitive form in order to transfer or perfect a security interest
in those securities. Consequently, the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a debt security held in DTC to those persons may be limited. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">DTC has advised us that it will take any action permitted to be taken by a holder of debt securities under the terms and conditions of the

participants. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">It is DTC&#146;s current practice, upon receipt of any payment of distributions or liquidation amounts, to proportionately

using an omnibus proxy. Consequently, those direct DTC participants should, in turn, based on customary practices, make payments to and solicit votes from beneficial owners of debt securities who have accounts directly with them. Payments to you
