        I don't think it was a threat. I think it was a description of what would happen if the merger weren't approved.

        To believe it was a threat, you'd have to believe Aetna was willing to abandon a healthy business it would otherwise

        have stayed in, just to follow through on its threat to leave. That's not something rational corporations would do.

        If Aetna had sent the letter saying it would leave, and then stayed in the exchanges after the merger was blocked ...

        that would suggest it was threatening the govt. As it is, I think Aetna was saying that without the merger...

        it couldn't afford its Obamacare's losses, and would leave. Which is what happened.

        Understood. It didn't make it into the piece purely because of a lack of space.

        If the government intends on bankrupting companies, they should just do so with armed soldiers. It's more honest
