     Re:   Registration Statement on Form S-8
           United HealthCare Corporation Amended and Restated 1991 Stock and
           Incentive Plan

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to United HealthCare Corporation, a Minnesota
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with a Registration Statement on
Form S-8 relating to the sale by the Company from time to time of up to
2,592,468 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value, of the Company (the
"Shares"), issuable pursuant to the United HealthCare Corporation Amended and
Restated 1991 Stock and Incentive Plan (the "Plan").

     We have examined such documents and reviewed such questions of law as we
have considered necessary and appropriate for the purposes of the opinions
set forth below.

     In rendering our opinions set forth below, we have assumed the
authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the genuineness
of all signatures and conformity to authentic originals of all documents
submitted to us as copies.  We have also assumed the legal capacity for all
purposes relevant hereto of all natural persons and, with respect to all
parties to agreements or instruments relevant hereto other than the Company,
that such parties had the requisite power and authority (corporate or
otherwise) to execute, deliver and perform such agreements or instruments,
that such agreements or instruments have been duly authorized by all
requisite action (corporate or otherwise), executed and delivered by such
parties and that such agreements or instruments are the valid, binding and
enforceable obligations of such parties.  As to questions of fact material to
our opinions, we have relied upon certificates of officers of the Company and
of public officials.

     Based on the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the Shares have been
duly authorized and, upon issuance, delivery and payment therefor in
accordance with the terms of the Plan, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.

     Our opinons expressed above are limited to the laws of Minnesota.

     We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

Dated:  April 19, 1995

                    Very truly yours,
