Goldman Sachs downgraded Health Net (NYSE: HNT) from Buy to Neutral with a price target of $29 (down from $32).

The firm said the regulatory and pricing environment in core market California is increasingly less favorable in comparison with other markets. This will likely limit upside to 2012-2013 and may make a possible acquisition of the company somewhat less likely.
