Anthem to buy Cigna in $48 billion deal that would alter health care landscape
– canadianbusiness.com
NEW YORK, N.Y. – Anthem is buying rival Cigna for $48 billion in a deal that would create the nation’s largest health insurer by enrolment, covering about 53 million U.S patients.
In just three weeks, starting with Aetna’s $35 billion bid for Humana Inc. on July 3, the landscape of U.S. health care has been altered in a buyout frenzy that could transform five massive U.S. health companies into just three, including UnitedHealth Group.
Companies that provide coverage are adjusting to the national health care overhaul and must contend with slow growth in employer-sponsored health insurance, a massive chunk of the health care market.
The deal announced Friday is valued at $54.2 billion including debt. Shareholders of Cigna, based in Bloomfield, Connecticut, will receive $103.40 per share in cash and 0.5152 shares of Anthem stock for each of their shares. The companies put the total value at $188 per share.
