CVS to buy Aetna

(Reuters) - Health insurer Cigna Corp's (CI.N) $52 billion acquisition of pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts Holding Co has passed U.S. antitrust scrutiny, the companies said on Monday, allowing them to proceed with a combination they say will lead to lower costs by better coordinating pharmacy and medical benefits.

Wall Street analysts had expected antitrust approval as the companies have little overlap in their businesses. The decision bodes well for the pending U.S. antitrust review of CVS Health Corp's (CVS.N) proposed $69 billion acquisition of health insurer Aetna Inc (AET.N).


Maybe Aetna can cover Actipatch lol
