UnitedHealth Group's market share in the U.S. health insurance market is 15.34%. However they're twice as bad as the industry average in terms of claim denial, so it would take them about 53 days to kill 3000 people.

And that's just the estimated deaths from being denied health care access. That wouldn't take into account those who chose to end their own lives rather than live with chronic pain or debilitating conditions nor does it take into account those that wish they were dead every day.
