CVS Health appears willing to pay top dollar for a health insurer in an effort to hold its own against competitors.
If drugstore operator CVS bought health insurer Aetna at the reported price of at least $200 per share, the $66 billion deal would be the largest ever in health insurance history, according to an analysis of Thomson Reuters data. The Wall Street Journal, citing sources, reported that CVS was in talks to buy the health insurer.
