Anthem, Amazon and a glass of wine: The Tipline for 7 March 2019

Health insurers Anthem and Cigna continue to hash out the real reasons why their mega-merger failed. Also on the books for today are antitrust concerns about Amazon’s foray into the grocery market and Total Wine’s petition for a rehearing or en banc review of a court’s decision to dismiss its antitrust complaint against Connecticut state regulators. Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will hold a subcommittee hearing on the effects of consolidation and anticompetitive conduct in healthcare markets.
