The new lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment that the ACA is constitutional and a court order barring the U.S. from taking any action inconsistent with that conclusion.
The U.S. Justice Department said it'll argue that it's entitled to a portion of any settlements or judgments in a consolidated case involving more than 300 lawsuits against opioid makers and distributors.
The settlement agreement, details of which werent available in the filings but described as conditional, could pave the way for eventual payment of the cost-sharing reduction payments.
More bad news for the Anthem-Cigna merger as the Justice Department argues the antitrust case is too complicated to be rushed.
