‘We Need to Break Up Big Medicine’: Elizabeth Warren Says Trump DOJ Gave UnitedHealth ‘More Power’ in $3.3 Billion Amedisys Deal

What happened: Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Trump's DOJ allowed UnitedHealth Group to buy Amedisys for $3.3 billion, arguing the deal gives the insurer more power over patient care. She called to "break up Big Medicine." Key numbers: $3.3 billion deal value. DOJ sued in November 2024, reached a proposed settlement in August 2025, approved in December 2025. Why it matters: Warren argues vertical integration of insurance, doctors, and pharmacy raises costs and denies care. The settlement let the deal proceed with divestitures and a monitor overseeing the sales. Market: +0.5% today ($402.40), +20.5% YTD, 0.1x vol — as of 16:32 UTC
