Together with the American Medical Association, two Florida organizations — the Florida Medical Association and the Florida Osteopathic Medical Association — have asked Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to block the proposed merger between Humana and Aetna.
Just last month, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation conducted an analysis and approved Aetna's plan to purchase Humana.
But the AMA, FMA and FOMA wrote a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi claiming the Florida OIR should not have done so.
"[T]he OIR appears to have been captured by Aetna's faulty arguments that existing state and federal regulation — MLR and staffing requirements — mostly solve the competitive concerns and justify very limited remedies that are largely illusory," the letter reads.
