Proposed Acquisition of Cigna Corporation by (信诺公司的收购)
Statement of Dena Mendelsohn
Staff Attorney
Consumers Union
to the
Department of Managed Health Care
on the
Proposed Acquisition of Cigna Corporation by Anthem, Inc.
March 9, 2016
Consumers Union, the public policy and advocacy arm of nonprofit Consumer Reports, offers this
testimony on the proposed acquisition of Cigna Corporation (“Cigna”) by Anthem, Inc. (“Anthem”). From
its founding, Consumer Reports has striven for a marketplace of safe, effective, reliable, and fairly priced
products—this mission extends deeply into the health care sector. The advantages for health plans that
merge are clear, but the advantage for consumers are not. Instead, we anticipate a less competitive
insurance marketplace, with the potential for lower quality products at higher costs for consumers.
While consumers around the nation await the outcome of the U.S. Department of Justice’s investigation
of this proposed merger, Californians also rely on state regulators to take action as may be necessary to
protect consumer interests in our state. We, therefore, ask you to ensure that if Anthem and Cigna
merge, consumers are not harmed, and the sum of the two plans is better than what consumers get
when the plans stand alone.
We urge the Department of Managed Health Care (“DMHC”) to review this proposed merger in light of:
(1) the dominant, collective status of these insurers in California, (2) the fact that market consolidation is
far more likely to benefit the carriers than the consumers, and (3) that increased market power may
mean worse insurance products for consumers. We discuss these three aspects more fully below, as well
as provide recommended steps to
