Attorney General's Statement On UnitedHealthcare-Health Net Acquisition

December 4, 2009

"We are investigating the UnitedHealthcare-Health Net merger under our separate antitrust authority to determine whether this combination will have anticompetitive consequences for Connecticut consumers in violation of state antitrust law.

"One of our concerns is whether the merger will cause excessive concentration in some segments of the health insurance market and thereby unlawfully restrain competition. We have reached no conclusion in our investigation, which is separate and distinct from the Department of Insurance legal responsibilities.

"We have taken steps to obtain additional information, including a meeting with representatives of the companies."
