UnitedHealth Group Stock (UNH) After Hours: Trump Premium Comments, New Audit “Action Plans,” and What to Watch Before the Next Market Open

NEW YORK — December 19, 2025 (after the close) — UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE: UNH) finished Friday’s session close to flat after a sharp, headline-driven swing, then drifted modestly in after-hours trading. Two stories dominated the tape into the closing bell: (1) President Donald Trump’s fresh push for insurers to cut prices/premiums, and (2) UnitedHealth’s release of early findings from an independent review program that laid out 23 operational “action plans” and a timeline into early 2026.

PM Awas Yojana Gramin (PMAY-G) Update: Rajasthan to Credit ₹100 Crore to 18,500 Beneficiaries on Dec 23; Irregularity Complaints Highlight the Need for Tighter Oversight

PM Awas Yojana Gramin (PMAY-G) Update: Rajasthan to Credit ₹100 Crore to 18,500 Beneficiaries on Dec 23; Irregularity Complaints Highlight the Need for Tighter Oversight

Dec 19, 2025 brought two sharply contrasting headlines around India’s flagship rural housing programme, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana–Gramin (PMAY-G). In Rajasthan, the state government announced a major instalment transfer—money that thousands of rural families have been waiting for to push their home construction forward. In Chhattisgarh, fresh reporting highlighted how disputes, paperwork gaps, and alleged manipulation can derail the same scheme on the ground, triggering complaints to local administrations. Together, these developments underline a simple truth: PMAY-G is delivering real support, but it also depends heavily on last-mile verification, transparent selection, and robust grievance redressal.

Prediction Markets Surge on Dec. 19, 2025: Robinhood’s NFL “Combos,” DraftKings’ New Predictions App, Coinbase Lawsuits, and Polymarket’s Latest Turbulence

On Friday, December 19, 2025, the fast-growing world of prediction markets—often framed as “event trading” and sometimes criticized as a backdoor to sports betting—delivered a cluster of developments that show just how quickly the category is moving from crypto niche to mainstream financial battleground. In just 24 hours, headlines ranged from DraftKings launching a standalone prediction-market product, to Coinbase suing three U.S. states over who gets to regulate event contracts, to Polymarket restoring services after a Polygon-related disruption, all while trading apps like Robinhood keep expanding sports-style contracts that look increasingly similar to parlays—only packaged as exchange-traded “yes/no” instruments.
