November 15, 2049 (six months prior to the maturity date of such notes) (each such date, a
"Par Call Date"), such series of notes may be redeemed at our option, at any time in whole

notice mailed to the registered holders of the notes to be redeemed, at a redemption price
equal to the greater of:

(1) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being redeemed, and
(2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined
below) of the applicable notes to be redeemed (assuming that such notes matured on
their applicable Par Call Date) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual

Table of Contents
Repurchase Upon Change of Control

Ranking
The notes will be our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank equally with
all of our current and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, including any
borrowings under our senior credit facility, and senior to all of our future subordinated debt.
The notes will effectively rank junior to any of our future secured indebtedness to the extent
of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The notes will not be guaranteed by
any of our subsidiaries and will therefore be effectively subordinated to all existing and
future liabilities of our subsidiaries. The indenture does not restrict our ability or the ability
of our subsidiaries to incur other indebtedness. As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately
$21.7 billion of indebtedness outstanding, of which approximately $1.1 billion consisted of
indebtedness of our subsidiaries and approximately $0.8 billion was secured debt.
Sinking Fund
None.
Form and Denomination of Notes
The notes of each series will initially be represented by one or more global notes which will
be deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee of The Depository
Trust Company ("DTC"). Indirect holders trading their beneficial interests in the global
notes through DTC must trade in DTC's same-day funds settlement system and pay in
immediately available funds. The notes may only be withdrawn from DTC in the limited
situations described in the accompanying prospectus under the caption "Description of the
Debt Securities--Global Notes, Delivery and Form." The notes of each series will be issued
in minimum denominations of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof.
Use of Proceeds
We estimate that the net proceeds of this offering, after deducting the underwriting discount
and estimated offering expenses payable by us, will be approximately $2,483,022,000. We
intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and for general
corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, the repurchase of our common stock
pursuant to our share repurchase program, repayment of short-term and long-term debt and
to fund acquisitions. See "Use of Proceeds."

Qualified Reopening
The additional 2025 notes offered hereby will be issued as a "qualified reopening" of our
existing 2025 Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See "Material United States
Federal Income Tax Considerations."
Further Issues
We may from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the notes, create and issue
additional notes having substantially the same terms and conditions, other than the offering
price, original interest accrual date and/or the initial interest payment date, as the 2025 notes,
the 2030 notes or the 2050 notes, in each case, so that such issue shall be consolidated and
form a single series with the outstanding 2025 notes, 2030 notes or 2050 notes offered
hereby; provided that if such additional notes are not fungible with such notes for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, the additional notes will have a separate CUSIP number.

S-4
Table of Contents
RISK FACTORS
In considering whether to invest in any of the notes, you should carefully consider all of the information contained in or incorporated by reference in
this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. In particular, you should consider the risk factors described in our periodic reports filed
with the SEC, including those set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019 and in Item 1A of Part II of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, which are incorporated by
reference in this prospectus supplement, as well as the additional risks described below. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition
or results of operations could suffer. In that event, we may be unable to meet our obligations under the notes and you may lose all or part of your
investment. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those currently viewed by us to be immaterial may also materially and
adversely affect us.
Risks Relating to Our Business
The outbreak of the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic and measures taken to prevent its spread are adversely affecting our business in a number of
ways, and we are unable to predict the full extent of those impacts on our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations, but the
impact could be material.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused illness, deaths, quarantines, business and school shutdowns, reductions in business activity, travel and
financial transactions, unemployment, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions and overall economic and financial market instability, and it underscores,
and may heighten, certain risks we face in our business, including those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2019.
We are closely monitoring developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic to assess its ongoing impact on our business. While we expect the impacts of
COVID-19, and the actions taken to contain its spread or address its impacts, to have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, financial condition and
results of operations, the extent of those impacts will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time,
including, but not limited to, the transmission rate, duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the extent and effectiveness of the actions taken to
contain the spread of the virus and address its impacts, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Factors
that could negatively impact our ability to operate successfully during or following the COVID-19 pandemic, or that could otherwise significantly
adversely impact and disrupt our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations include, but are not limited to, the following:

· Increased healthcare costs due to higher utilization rates of medical facilities and services, medical expenses and other increases in associated

hospital and pharmaceutical costs. We have begun to offer our members expanded benefit coverage, such as providing full coverage for
COVID-19 testing and treatment, and governmental action has required, and may continue to require, us to provide additional coverage.

· A reduction in enrollment in our health benefits and pharmacy benefit management products and services, or a change in membership mix to

less profitable lines of business, as a result of reductions in workforce by existing customers and other impacts of an economic downturn.

· Cash flow volatility or shortfalls caused by an increase in delayed, delinquent or non-collectable payments from customers and government

payers.

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1156039/000119312520132540/d921752d424b3.htm[5/5/2020 8:09:40 AM]


424B3
· Reductions in our operating effectiveness as our employees work from home or otherwise are impacted by COVID-19. We have transitioned

nearly all of our employee population to a remote work environment in an effort to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, which may exacerbate
certain risks to our business, including an increased demand for information technology resources, increased risk of phishing and other

S-5
Table of Contents
cybersecurity attacks and increased risk of unauthorized dissemination of sensitive personal information or proprietary or confidential

information about us, our members or other third parties.

· Disruptions in our normal business operations due to disruptions in public and private infrastructure, including communications, financial

services and supply chains.

· Loss of functionality due to the disruption of services provided to us by third-party vendors, including as a result of financial difficulties

experienced by such vendors and the impact of vendor employees working from home or otherwise being impacted by COVID-19.

· Increased cost of capital and limited ability to access the capital markets due to disruption and volatility in global financial markets or a

downgrade in our credit rating.


· A further decrease in the value of our investments, which may result in additional losses charged to income.

· An increase in our effective income tax rate due to the impacts of COVID-19 on our income and other factors described above, and the non-tax

deductibility of the Health Insurance Provider Fee.
Risks Relating to the Notes
As of March 31, 2020, we had indebtedness outstanding of approximately $21.7 billion and expect to incur additional indebtedness in the future. As a
holding company, we will not be able to repay our indebtedness except through dividends from subsidiaries, some of which are restricted in their ability
to pay such dividends under applicable insurance law and undertakings. Such indebtedness could also adversely affect our ability to pursue desirable
business opportunities.
As of March 31, 2020, we had indebtedness outstanding of approximately $21.7 billion and had available borrowing capacity of approximately
$2.2 billion under our senior revolving credit facility, which expires on June 6, 2024, and borrowing capacity of approximately $1.0 billion under our
364-day senior revolving credit facility, which expires on June 4, 2020. In the second quarter of 2020, we expect to extend the term of our 364-day senior
revolving credit facility to expire on June 3, 2021. We also expect to incur additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of the indenture under which the
notes are issued do not prohibit us or our subsidiaries from incurring additional indebtedness. Our debt service obligations will require us to use a portion
of our cash flow to pay interest and principal on debt instead of for other corporate purposes, including funding future expansion. If our cash flow and
capital resources are insufficient to service our debt obligations, we may be forced to seek extraordinary dividends from our subsidiaries, sell assets, seek
additional equity or debt capital or restructure our debt. However, these measures might be unsuccessful or inadequate in permitting us to meet scheduled
debt service obligations.
As a holding company, we have no operations and are dependent on dividends from our subsidiaries for cash to fund our debt service and other
corporate needs. Our subsidiaries are separate legal entities. Furthermore, our subsidiaries are not obligated to make funds available to us, and creditors of
our subsidiaries will have a superior claim to certain of our subsidiaries' assets. State insurance laws restrict the ability of our regulated subsidiaries to pay
dividends, and in some states we have made special undertakings that may limit the ability of our regulated subsidiaries to pay dividends. In addition, our
subsidiaries' ability to make any payments to us will also depend on their earnings, the terms of their indebtedness, business and tax considerations and
other legal restrictions. We cannot assure you that our subsidiaries will be able to pay dividends or otherwise contribute or distribute funds to us in an
amount sufficient to pay the principal of or interest on the indebtedness owed by us. Indebtedness could also limit our ability to pursue desirable business
opportunities, and may affect our ability to maintain an investment grade rating for our indebtedness.
We may also incur future debt obligations that might subject us to restrictive covenants that could affect our financial and operational flexibility. Our
breach or failure to comply with any of these covenants could result in a default under our credit agreements. If we default under our credit agreements, the
lenders could cease to make

further extensions of credit or cause all of our outstanding debt obligations under our credit agreements to become immediately due and payable, together
with accrued and unpaid interest. If the indebtedness under the notes or our credit agreements is accelerated, we may be unable to repay or finance the
amounts due.

The notes are not secured by any of our assets and any secured creditors would have a prior claim on our assets.
The notes are not secured by any of our assets. The terms of the indenture permit us to incur secured debt. If we become insolvent or are liquidated,
or if payment under any of the agreements governing our secured debt is accelerated, the lenders under our secured debt agreements will be entitled to
exercise the remedies available to a secured lender under applicable law and pursuant to agreements governing that debt. Accordingly, the lenders will have
a prior claim on our assets. In that event, because the notes are not secured by any of our assets, it is possible that there will be no assets remaining from
which claims of the holders of notes can be satisfied or, if any assets remain, the remaining assets might be insufficient to satisfy those claims in full. As of
March 31, 2020, we had approximately $0.8 billion of secured debt outstanding.
The notes are effectively subordinated to the indebtedness of our subsidiaries.
Because we operate as a holding company, our right to participate in any distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon that subsidiary's dissolution,
winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or otherwise (and thus the ability of the holders of the notes to participate indirectly from the distribution) is subject
to the prior claims of the creditors of that subsidiary, except to the extent that we are a creditor of the subsidiary and our claims are recognized. Therefore,
the notes are effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other obligations of our subsidiaries. Our subsidiaries are separate legal entities and have no
obligations to pay, or make funds available for the payment of, any amounts due on the notes. The indenture governing the notes does not prohibit or limit
the incurrence of indebtedness and other liabilities by us or our subsidiaries. The incurrence of additional indebtedness and other liabilities by us or our
subsidiaries could adversely affect our ability to pay obligations on the notes. As of March 31, 2020, we had approximately $21.7 billion of indebtedness
outstanding, of which approximately $1.1 billion consisted of indebtedness of our subsidiaries.
We may not be able to satisfy our obligations to repurchase the notes upon the occurrence of both a change of control and downgrades of the notes.
Unless we have exercised our right to redeem the 2025 notes, the 2030 notes and the 2050 notes in full, upon the occurrence of both (1) a change of
control of us and (2) a downgrade of a series of notes below an investment grade rating by each of Moody's Investors Service, Inc., S&P Global Ratings
and Fitch Ratings, Inc. within a specified period, which we refer to as a change of control triggering event, we will be required to make an offer to
purchase all of the notes of such series at a price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to the
date of repurchase. The source of funds for any purchase of our debt securities, including the notes, will be our available cash or cash generated from our
operations or other sources, including borrowings, sales of assets or sales of equity. We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a change of control
triggering event because we may not have sufficient financial resources to purchase all of the debt securities that are tendered upon a change of control and
repay our other indebtedness that will become due, if any. We may require additional financing from third parties to fund any such purchases, and we
cannot assure you that we would be able to obtain financing on satisfactory terms or at all. Further, our ability to repurchase the notes may be limited by
applicable law. See "Description of the Notes--Repurchase Upon a Change of Control. " As a result of our potential obligations to repurchase the notes and
other indebtedness, we may have to avoid certain change of control transactions that would otherwise be beneficial to us and our shareholders.

There are currently no trading markets for the 2030 notes or the 2050 notes. Active public trading markets for such notes may not develop. Active
trading markets for the 2030 notes or the 2050 notes, even if developed, may not be maintained, and the trading market for the 2025 notes may not be
maintained. The failure of active liquid trading markets for the notes to develop or be maintained is likely to adversely affect the market prices and
liquidity of the notes.
The 2030 notes and the 2050 notes are new issues of securities, and there are currently no existing trading markets for such notes. The existing 2025
Notes are not listed on any securities exchange. We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes of any series on any securities exchange. Although the
underwriters have advised us that they intend to make a market in the 2030 notes and the 2050 notes and currently make a market in the existing 2025
Notes, they are not obligated to do so and may discontinue any market-making at any time without notice. Accordingly, active trading markets may not
develop for the notes and, even if any markets develop, may not be maintained. If active trading markets for the notes do not develop or are not
maintained, the market prices and liquidity of the notes are likely to be adversely affected, and holders may not be able to sell their notes at desired times
and prices or at all. If any of the notes are traded after their purchase, they may trade at a discount from their purchase prices.
The liquidity of the trading markets, if any, and future trading prices of the notes will depend on many factors, including, among other things,
prevailing interest rates, our financial condition, results of operations, business, prospects and credit quality, and those of comparable entities, the market
for similar securities and the overall securities market, and may be adversely affected by unfavorable changes in any of these factors, some of which are
beyond our control. In addition, market volatility or events or developments in the credit markets could materially and adversely affect the market value of
the notes, regardless of our financial condition, results of operations, business, prospects or credit quality.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We estimate that the net proceeds from the offering of the notes will be approximately $2,483,022,000, after deducting the underwriting discounts
and estimated offering expenses payable by us. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for working capital and for general corporate purposes,
including, but not limited to, repayment of short-term and long-term debt, the repurchase of our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program
and to fund acquisitions.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
The Notes Will Be Issued Under the Indenture
We will issue $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.375% notes due 2025, $1,100,000,000 initial aggregate principal amount of 2.250%
notes due 2030 and $1,000,000,000 initial aggregate principal amount of 3.125% notes due 2050. The 2025 notes offered hereby will form a single series
with, and have the same terms as, the existing 2025 Notes (other than the initial offering price and the issue date). Upon settlement, the 2025 notes offered
hereby will have the same CUSIP number and will trade interchangeably with the existing 2025 Notes. Immediately after giving effect to the issuance of
the additional 2025 notes offered hereby, we will have $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2.375% notes due 2025 outstanding.
The notes will be issued under a senior note indenture dated as of November 21, 2017 between us and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust
Company, N.A., as trustee. The trustee has two main roles. First, the trustee can enforce your rights against us if we default; however, there are some
limitations on the extent to which the trustee acts on your behalf. Second, the trustee performs administrative functions for us, such as sending you interest
payments (as our paying agent), transferring your notes to a new buyer if you sell them (as our registrar) and sending you notices.
The indenture and the notes contain the full legal text of the matters described in this section. We have filed a copy of the indenture with the SEC as
an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 21, 2017. The indenture and the notes are governed by New York law.
Because this section is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of the notes and the indenture. This description is subject to, and qualified in its
entirety by, all the provisions of the indenture, including definitions of certain terms used in the indenture. For example, in this section we use capitalized
words to signify defined terms that have been given special meaning in the indenture. We describe the meaning for only the more important terms. We
urge you to read the indenture and the notes because they, and not this description, define your rights as a holder of the notes.
Terms of the Notes
The 2025 notes will mature on January 15, 2025, the 2030 notes will mature on May 15, 2030 and the 2050 notes will mature on May 15, 2050. The
notes will be our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from
time to time outstanding. No sinking fund will be provided with respect to the notes. The notes will not be convertible or exchangeable for other securities
or property. No additional amounts will be payable with respect to the notes.
Each series of notes will be issued in fully registered form only, in minimum denominations of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. Each series of
notes will be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities, without coupons, which will be deposited initially with, or on behalf of, DTC.
Interest on the 2025 notes will be deemed to have accrued from January 15, 2020. We will pay interest on the 2025 notes from January 15, 2020 or
from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of
each year, commencing July 15, 2020. Interest on the 2025 notes will be paid to the persons in whose names the 2025 notes are registered at the close of
business on January 1 or July 1 (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding the relevant Interest Payment Date. Interest on the
2025 notes will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
We will pay interest on the 2030 notes and the 2050 notes from May 5, 2020 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has
been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing November 15, 2020. Interest on the 2030
