UnitedHealth
(UNH) - Get Report
: Cramer looked at the charts of UnitedHealth,
WellPoint
(WLP)
and
Humana
(HUM) - Get Report

On Wednesday, UnitedHealth closed down 64 cents, or 2.5%, at $25.04; WellPoint was off $1.92, or 3.9%, to $47.36; and Humana gave up 72 cents, or 1.9%, to close at $37.30.
Windstream
(WIN) - Get Report
: Cramer wanted to make sure Windstream's hefty dividend was safe, so he spoke with CEO Jeff Gardner, who said he felt "great" about the company's yield. "We're doing all the right things in our business," he said, and Cramer agreed.
On Wednesday, Windstreatm added 33 cents, or 3.4%, to $10.13.

On Wednesday, Bucyrus slid 2 cents to close at $35.61, while Joy Global lost 25 cents to close at $48.94.

.
