Any credible source for this?

There are a bunch of news articles (newsweek, gizmodo, inc) on this topic but all I could find are solely based on a citation of the designer of the shirt or referring to 'online rumors'. No confirmation by United Healthcare nor Teepublic (the shop) that indeed such a DMCA request has been filed at all or if so that it was filed by United Healthcare.

I'm not saying it's a lie but I think there should be at least a confirmation by the shop. Otherwise, it could be as well a (quite successful) ad campaign by the designer herself or a DMCA request by another artist or anyone else.
