The US healthcare industry is facing massive changes, as demonstrated by the upcoming purchase of Aetna health insurance by the largest US drug and pharmacy chain, CVS. This is one of the world's largest acquisitions this year. Including assumed debt is about a purchase price of about 77 billion US dollars (64.7 billion euros). The regulators and shareholders still have to agree. The merger is intended to create a new group in the field of healthcare and health care. Economists wonder if similar transactions will occur in Europe as well.
