UnitedHealth Group Inc. may offer investors a peek behind the health care overhaul curtain when it announces its third-quarter results on Thursday.
WHAT TO WATCH FOR: Enrollment started earlier this month for the largely online health insurance exchanges that play a leading role in the overhaul's push to expand insurance coverage to millions of people.

UnitedHealth has said it will play a limited role in these exchanges, at least initially, and it won't have any financial results from that business to report on Thursday. But it may provide some big insurer perspective on how enrollment has gone so far.
