Well, that explains why UnitedHealthGroup, had a 4.1 percent profit margin over the past 12 months.(2009)
I wonder what the number would have been without that 30% increase in the 4th Q.

again....
READ this desh...
If their profit was $1 and then it went to $1.28.... both just barely being profitable....
they would have your 28% increase.
Now if they made $1T profit and then went to $1.28T
they would also have a 28% increase.
Now answer this DESH....
Do you think the base numbers have meaning?
