reason of the former or present official capacity of the person against
judgments, penalties, fines, including, without limitation, excise taxes
assessed against such person with respect to an employee benefit plan,
settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and
disbursements, incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding, if,
with respect to the acts or omissions of the person complained of in the
proceeding, the person (1) has not been indemnified by another organization
                                     
                                      3

omissions in such person's official capacity for the corporation or
reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interests of
the corporation in the case of acts or omissions in such person's official
capacity for other affiliated organizations.  Article IX of the Bylaws of the
Company provides that the Company shall indemnify officers and directors to
the extent permitted by Section 302A.521 as now enacted or hereafter amended.

The Registrant also carries a directors' and officers' liability insurance
policy.

                             ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS

The Company hereby undertakes:

   A.1.   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
          a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

          (i)  To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
               Securities Act of 1933;

          (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
               the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most
               recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
               or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
               information set forth in the Registration Statement;

          (iii)To include any material information with respect to the plan
               of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration
               Statement or any material change to such information in the
               Registration Statement.

                                        4
<PAGE>
Provided, however, that paragraphs A.1.(i) and A.1.(ii) of this section do
not apply if information required to be included in a post-effective amend-
ment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or
section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by
reference in this registration statement.

     2.   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
          Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
          deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
          securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at
          that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
          thereof.

     3.   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
          any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
          termination of the offering.


B. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of
the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Company pursuant to the indemnification provisions described herein, or
otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Company will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

     Re:   Registration Statement on Form S-8
       United HealthCare Corporation Nonemployee Director Stock Option 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
350,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value, of the Company (the
"Shares"), issuable pursuant to the United HealthCare Corporation Nonemployee
Director Stock Option 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.

Page 2

     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: May 26, 1995

                    Very truly yours,
