Episode Notes

John shares our take on the first half of April highlighting Walmart’s talks to acquire Humana, and California's suit against Sutter Health.

• Reuters and The Wall Street Journal independently reported that
  Walmart is considering an acquisition of health insurer Humana.
  Citing people familiar with the matter, Reuters said the companies
  are in early talks about developing closer ties, with one possibility
  being an acquisition.
• The state of California has filed an antitrust suit against Sutter
  Health, alleging anticompetitive behavior. Among other complaints,
  the suit alleges that the Sacramento-based health system imposes gag
  clauses on prices and in some cases charges “punitively high” amounts
  for out-of-network services.

Of Note: Our Take Narrations will be twice monthly after these inaugural episodes.
