Aetna has added 250,000 Medicare Advantage members in the first quarter of 2018, in addition to the potential deal with CVS Health. The insurer reported $1.2 billion in net income for Q1 2018, after taking a $381 million loss in the first quarter of 2017.
Shareholders with CVS and Aetna have approved a $69 billion merger, with the companies now facing a Department of Justice review. There is some feeling, including from the American Antitrust Institute, that the deal could hurt patients and limit competition.
