CVS Health weighs splitting retail and insurance units

Original: CVS Health explores splitting retail pharmacy, insurance businesses, FT reports

CVS Health is exploring a potential breakup that would separate its retail pharmacy operations from its Aetna insurance business, according to a Financial Times report picked up by Reuters and other outlets. A split would unwind the drugstore giant's 2018 merger with Aetna and mark a major restructuring for one of America's largest healthcare companies. No final decision has been announced.

Why now: A breakup of one of the biggest US healthcare companies, unwinding its high-profile Aetna merger, would reshape the industry and affect millions of customers.
