Report: Cigna close to acquiring Express Scripts

Cigna Corp. could announce as soon as March 8 that it is acquiring pharmacy benefit manager Express Scripts Holding Co. in a deal that could be worth $50 billion or more, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing "people familiar with the matter."

If the deal materializes, it would be the latest deal in the "rapidly changing" healthcare services business, according to the report.

The news comes just a few months after CVS Health Corp. announced that it was acquiring Aetna Inc. in a deal valued at about $69 billion.
