The beauty (or the terror, depending on your perspective) of the Justice Department's Antitrust Division is that you never know where it'll strike. One minute the feds are taking down multi-billion dollar international cartels.

Last month we discussed the role of the presidency in formulating antitrust policy, pointing out the fallacy of the view that the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice has historically been (or should be) completely independent of the White House. We posited that history shows that the Antitrust Division's enforcement decisions have been (and should be) a product of informed presidential policy and that past presidents have attempted to apply the Sherman Act in a way that balances the panoply of challenges, both foreign and domestic, that every president elected by the people invariably faces.

Antitrust columnist Elai Katz writes: In a thorough opinion evaluating the legality of a health insurance merger under antitrust law, the D.C. Circuit considered whether and when efficiencies may offset competitive concerns. Rejecting arguments that anticipated health care cost reductions should spare Anthem's proposed acquisition of Cigna from an antitrust challenge, a split panel upheld an injunction blocking the proposed merger because it was likely to lessen competition without offsetting benefits.
