Chuck DarwinThe Justice Department, together with the Attorneys General of Maryland, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York, 🔥filed a civil antitrust lawsuit today ⭐️ to block <a href="https://c.im/tags/UnitedHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UnitedHealth</a> Group Incorporated (UnitedHealth)’s proposed 👉 $3.3 billion acquisition of rival home health and hospice services provider <a href="https://c.im/tags/Amedisys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amedisys</a> Inc. (Amedisys). The complaint filed in the District of Maryland alleges that the transaction would ❌ eliminate competition between UnitedHealth and Amedisys (Defendants). Since UnitedHealth’s prior acquisition of Amedisys’s home health and hospice rival <a href="https://c.im/tags/LHC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LHC</a> Group Inc. (LHC) in 2023, Defendants have been two of the largest home health and hospice providers in the United States. 🆘 Eliminating the competition between UnitedHealth and Amedisys would harm patients who receive home health and hospice services, insurers who contract for home health services, and nurses who provide home health and hospice services.“We are challenging this merger because home health and hospice patients and their families experiencing some of the most difficult moments of their lives deserve affordable, high quality care options,” said Attorney General <a href="https://c.im/tags/Merrick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Merrick</a> B. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Garland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Garland</a>. “The Justice Department will not hesitate to check unlawful consolidation and monopolization in the healthcare market that threatens to harm vulnerable patients, their families, and health care workers.”“Millions of patients depend on United and Amedisys to receive home health and hospice care in the comfort of their homes,” said Principal Deputy Associate Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer. “❇️ The Department’s lawsuit demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that consolidation does not threaten quality, affordability, or wages in these vital healthcare markets. I commend the staff of the Antitrust Division for their extraordinary work on this matter.” <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-block-unitedhealth-groups-acquisition-home-health-and-hospice" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-block-unitedhealth-groups-acquisition-home-health-and-hospice</a>

JustKathyThank you, Joe Biden and your incredibly awful AG. You could have done better. I don't suppose you'd want your AG to sue to enforce Sec. 3 of the 14th Amendment, would you? <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Biden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biden</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Merrick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Merrick</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/usa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#usa</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPolitics</a> <a href="https://www.thedailypoliticususa.com/p/america-deserved-better-than-merrick" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.thedailypoliticususa.com/p/america-deserved-better-than-merrick</a>
