Previously, Cramer discussed how UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH)’s new CEO was the right executive for the job:

“UnitedHealth is very, very tricky, and it might be a long-term turn, but I will tell you this, Steve Hemsley is the only person I know who could possibly turn this thing around. Hemsley’s back as CEO, he was amazing. I think you have to have fortitude to be in it. I don’t like the situation because there’s so many winners, as you say, but at least I want people to know that I think Hemsley’s is the real deal.”
