Opposition surrounds health care deal

(via Associated Press) · May 16, 2008 · 10:17 AM

An array of organizations, including the federal government, are making a belated effort to stop the largest health insurance merger in Nevada history.

Documents were filed with the federal Justice Department and U.S. District Court by Service Employees International Union Nevada, a variety of physician associations, County Commissioner Chris Giunchigliani and the U.S. House Committee on Small Business. The health care deal in question is the $2.6 billion purchase of Las Vegas-based Sierra Health Services Inc. by Minnesota-based UnitedHealth Group Inc.
