CVS Health Acquisition of Aetna Closes on Schedule

Just short of one year following the merger announcement, CNBC reports CVS Health has closed on its deal to acquire major health insurer Aetna. The deal is valued at $70 billion. CVS Health’s CEO Larry Merlo predicts “the combined company will create a new data-driven health-care model that’s more personal, convenient and tailored to individual patients than ever before.”Good luck with that effort.
