CVS Health appears to have chosen a friendlier foe in insurers than the Seattle-based giant that has been lurking in the shadows.

The drugstore operator is in talks to buy health insurer Aetna for a proposed $200 per share or more, sources familiar with the matter say. In owning Aetna, CVS would become the first health-care triple threat: a pharmacy, a pharmacy benefit manager and now an insurer.
