58 96 233 503 | CVS is buying Aetna in massive deal that could transform health care, December 3, 2017


CVS Pharmacy

Express Scripts Holding Company is an American Fortune 100 company. As of 2017, the company is the 22nd-largest in the United States as well as the largest pharmacy benefit management (PBM) organization in the United States.

The prospects for the deal are uncertain, since mergers involving health insurance companies have recently run into regulatory roadblocks. In 2015, Aetna and Humana (HUM) announced a $34 billion merger, while Anthem (ANTX) agreed to acquire Cigna (CI) for $54 billion. Both deals were called off in February after they were blocked by federal judges citing antitrust concerns. 

If approved, this deal would go down as the largest health insurance deal in history, far exceeding Express Scripts (ESRX)' $29 billion acquisition of Medco in 2012, the last record-holder.

Express Scripts is the largest pharmacy benefit management (PBM) organization in the United States.



 CVS Pharmacy is founded in Lowell, Massachusetts.

CVS Pharmacy is headquartered at 1 CVS Drive, Woonsocket, Rhode Island.


From CVS's acquisition of Aetna to the anniversary of CVS's founding in May 8, 1963 (5/8/63) is a span of 156 days.

1) Counting the end date, it is 157 days.
2) 157 days is equivalent to 5 months 6 days, like 56.
3) Last but not least, it is 22 weeks and 3 days, like 223.

The main title reads as the following: "CVS is buying Aetna in massive deal that could transform health care"
