Story
DOJ Sues to Block UnitedHealth's $3.3B Amedisys Deal Over Home Health and Labor Competition
Nov 12, 2024, 06:30 PM
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), along with several U.S. states, has filed a lawsuit to block UnitedHealth Group's proposed $3.3 billion acquisition of Amedisys, one of the largest home health providers in the country. The DOJ cites concerns that the deal would reduce competition in the home health and hospice services market, potentially giving UnitedHealth too much power in this sector. The lawsuit also addresses potential harms to labor competition, suggesting that the merger could negatively impact wages of nurses and other healthcare workers. This action reflects the DOJ's ongoing efforts to scrutinize mergers that may adversely affect both markets and labor forces.
