          UnitedHealth Group has about 90,000 employed or affiliated doctors, approximately 10% of all physicians in the U.S.

          The number — disclosed Wednesday at the company’s investor day by Amar Desai, the CEO of UnitedHealth’s Optum Health division — means the company acquired or hired 20,000 doctors in the past year alone.
