Seven Reasons to Say No to the Aetna-Humana Merger
The Hill Link to more items from this source
[Opinion]
July 11, 2016

"[1] Health insurance markets are already competitively fragile at best.... [2] Competition between Aetna and Humana makes a big difference.... [3] A billion in divestitures is a drop in the bucket to what conceivably might be necessary.... [4] A divestiture is unlikely to be worth more than the paper it is printed on.... [5] The group Medicare Advantage market poses unique problems that are almost impossible to cure.... [6] It is awfully hard to find any buyers with sufficient scope and expertise to meet the obligation under the law to fully restore competition.... [7] The costs of the divestitures in disrupted service, higher premiums, uncertainty, and inferior service will be borne by consumers."
