| 3 Min Read

The American Medical Association (AMA) joined today with the Florida Medical Association (FMA) and the Florida Osteopathic Medical Association (FOMA) and called on Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to reject the proposed merger of health insurer giants Aetna and Humana.

In a letter to the attorney general, the physician organizations outlined their strong concern that the anticompetitive consequences of the merger would negatively impact health care access, quality and affordability in Florida. An AMA analysis found the proposed Aetna-Humana merger would run afoul of federal antitrust guidelines in highly populated metropolitan areas across the state.
