UnitedHealthcare has named a new boss almost two months after its then-chief executive Brian Thompson was shot and killed in New York.
Company veteran Tim Noel will take charge of the largest health insurer in the US, which has more than 50 million customers, at a critical moment.
Mr Thompson's killing on 4 December in central Manhattan ignited a wide debate about how the US healthcare system operates.
Many Americans, who pay more for healthcare than people in any other country, have expressed anger over what they see as unfair treatment by insurance firms.
