Aetna-Humana Deal Will Face Scrutiny From State Authorities
Tuesday, July 14th, 2015
While it's still unclear how likely federal regulators are to allow Aetna and Humana to merge, the multibillion-dollar deal will also have to pass muster with insurance commissioners and attorneys general in a slew of states, Reuters reports.
The two health insurance companies announced July 3 that they plan to combine their operations in a deal valued at about $37 billion, becoming the first two mega-insurers to make a move amid months of consolidation speculation.
