Remember Cvs wanted this deal closed along time ago , to avoid rising interest rates. So the rush to close and not wait for final for final approval was the cost of the next interest rate increase on Dec 19th. So now if the judge delays it will cost Cvs over 180 million dollars on the interest increase! Stupidity at its greatest??

You need to understand the deal is closed, CVS does own Aetna. This cannot change as they own the company now. The issue is that the judge may block the integration of the 2 companies which means CVS Health would be forced to run the companies as separate entities and not mix the two together which is the intention of Larry. It would perhaps mean that those who are Aetna insured could not be forced to use CVS if at all. Regardless the company is owned by CVS.
Great point, and neither do I.
The employees are already paying for the merger. If it is postponed, I don't see how the stores will stay open.
