On December 7, 2016, Buzzfeed published an article regarding United Health "based on interviews with 175 current and former UHS staff, including 18 executives who ran UHS hospitals; more than 120 additional interviews with patients, government investigators, and other experts; and a cache of internal documents."  According to the Buzzfeed article, "[c]urrent and former employees from at least 10 UHS hospitals in nine states said they were under pressure to fill beds by almost any method – which sometimes meant exaggerating people's symptoms or twisting their words to make them seem suicidal – and to hold them until their insurance payments ran out."  

On this news, Universal Health's share price fell $15.01, or 11.88%, to close at $111.36 on December 7, 2016.
