What are they? 10,000 baby boomers age into Medicare every single day. By 2030, 20% of all Americans will be over 65.

While the insurance arm collects premiums and pays claims, Optum generates recurring fee-based revenue with data analytics, pharmacy services, and care delivery. This is what transforms UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH) from a low-margin insurer into a healthcare technology compounder.
