UnitedHealth to Buy Home-Health Firm LHC Group for $5.4 Billion
It would appear that UnitedHealth $UNH are planning to Buy LHC Group $LHCG for about $5.4B in cash, or $170 per share according to the Wall Street Journal.

"The acquisition by UnitedHealth’s Optum health-services arm, which is expected to be announced Tuesday, will add one of the country’s largest home-health firms to a portfolio that already includes doctor groups, clinics and surgery centers, as well as some home-based services."

Last year, LHC generated around $2.2B in revenues in their long-term health care business.
