Mangione: Double Jeopardy Claims Loom Over Dual Trials

If convicted in either case, he could face life in prison.

UnitedHealth beat Q4 earnings modestly ($2.11 vs. $2.10) but issued soft 2026 revenue guidance of just over $439 billion (about a 2% decline from 2025) due to divestitures, a planned U.S. membership reduction, and a roughly $6 billion revenue hit from Medicare’s new V28 coding system.
