The Justice Department is suing to block UnitedHealth Group's $3.3 billion purchase of Amedisys, citing concerns the combination would hinder access to home health and hospice services in the U.S. The antitrust complaint, filed in Maryland by the Justice Department and four states' attorneys general Tuesday, argues that a potential merger is illegal because the two companies are "such large competitors" already — and the deal would give UnitedHealth too much control in many local markets. “American healthcare is unwell," Assistant Attorney General Jonathan Kanter of the Justice Department’s antitrust division, said in a prepared statement.

A new Department of Justice lawsuit has put at risk UnitedHealth Group effort to buy Amedisys one of the country’s largest providers of home health and hospice care for older people. UnitedHealth itself is already one of the largest providers of home health and hospice care in the U.S. In a suit seeking to block the deal, filed Tuesday in a federal district court in Maryland, the DOJ’s antitrust division argued that the combination would hurt consumers and the nurses who work for the companies. In addition to the DOJ’s antitrust division, the suit was also brought by state attorneys general from Maryland, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York.
