UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH ) was up 6.8% this week to lead the Dow. On Monday, an analyst projected that United Health would be able to grow Medicare Advantage enrollment despite reimbursement cuts. After concerns about government cuts hit health-care companies in early 2013, there's now growing understanding that Obamacare or cuts to Medicare won't slash profits. One of the reasons is the insurance lobby, which has been able to bend policy to make sure companies like UnitedHealth are still posting solid profits. ��

Stocks have wobbled wildly on the day, but the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) is still pulling off gains to end the week. As of 2:30 p.m. EDT, the Dow Jones has risen 34 points, or 0.22%. Most stocks are in the green today, but UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH ) is hanging flat with the rest of a slumbering health-care sector so far. Let's catch up on what you need to know.

Interestingly, several of the stocks from the health-care and technology industries that performed the best in yesterday's Dow decline were laggards this time around. On the health-care front, UnitedHealth (NYSE: UNH ) fell 1.4%, giving up most of its gains from yesterday. Despite a recent dividend increase, and indications that the company is well-prepared to handle the full implementation of Obamacare, UnitedHealth is suffering from all the uncertainties investors have about the impact of Obamacare and other health-care policies on the health-insurance industry. With shares at a reasonable valuation of just 12 times trailing earnings, UnitedHealth offers some margin of safety against the potential for adverse news in the near future.
