U.S. Justice Department Moves to Block UnitedHealth-Amedisys Deal Over Competition Concerns
Nov 12 (Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department is preparing to file a lawsuit to block UnitedHealth Group’s $3.3 billion acquisition of Amedisys Inc., according to a report from Bloomberg News. The government is concerned that the merger could reduce competition in the home health services market.
Citing anonymous sources, Bloomberg reported that antitrust officials have already approved the lawsuit, which could be filed in federal court as soon as this week. The lawsuit aims to prevent the deal from going through due to potential anti-competitive effects in the industry.
