they are in different business model and just does not make sense

Business Model Breakdown
✅ UnitedHealth Group (UNH): Diversified Hybrid Model
Combines insurance (UnitedHealthcare) with health services (Optum).

Operates with deep vertical integration — owning clinics, data platforms, and pharmacy benefit managers.

Strong presence across commercial insurance, Medicare Advantage, and a growing Medicaid footprint.

Think of it as the Walmart + Amazon of healthcare — offering a full, self-contained ecosystem.

✅ Centene Corp (CNC): Government-Focused Specialist
Primarily serves government-sponsored health programs, especially Medicaid and ACA exchanges.

Expansion strategy centers on acquiring regional MCOs and managing state-level contracts.

Operates with limited vertical integration and lacks a major health services arm like Optum.

🔍 Bottom Line:
While both operate in the health insurance space, their models are fundamentally different:

UNH is a broad, integrated powerhouse, spanning all key healthcare sectors.

CNC is a niche player, highly focused on Medicaid and ACA, with less diversification.

UNH is a healthcare empire. CNC is a targeted government-insurance specialist.
