Given governments huge role in the medical field this traditional safe haven is really unpredictable, however the rising age of baby boomers is still very bullish for pharmaceuticals.
LOL ISRG is not overbought. It opens tomorrow over 10% up. Rather than quanting out technical trading people need to do their research. ISRG should be a $400+ stock and will be by years end. Facts are more important thhan technical trading. So I guess ISRG will be overboughter now lol.

Intrade is a more useful tool for finding out odds than popular sentiment. Perhaps that's because they put money where their mouth is and there are a few market makers to exclude the patently ridiculous. I tend to look at it regarding elections more than anything else.

By the way, plenty of medical companies are rallying on the reform bill. I even bought ISRG. Clearly many people don't believe this bill will lead to worse coverage or that higher quality treatment methods will now be shunned. Count me as one of those people.

Well can I add a correction to the title. This should be why health insurers who had near monopolies or duopolies in huge swaths of America and used them to line their pockets are bad bets in 2010. The medical profession is liable to be much healthier after this bill. Unfortunately, Congress and the Senate were unable to get all the lobbyists out of the mix so there is still a lot more to be corrected in our terribly flawed, inefficient, and bureaucratic medical system. But at least this reform is a start at reform.
I wish they had done something similar with ther banking and financial markets. Oh well. Merry Christmas to all the uninsured or people who have been denied propetr treatment that will benefit from this bill.

This is a small, somewhat flawed but neccesary step forwards. In the end a majority of doctors support medical reform. When they sign up they signed up to treat patients and care for people not figure out how to save HMO's money denying care and spend a lifetime figuring out the legalities of medical treatment.
The government is already in healthcare. What we need is regulation, fairness, and efficiency.
If I believed this would collapse the advancement ion healthcare I would not have bought ISRG this week. If the market thought that, then the pharmas and some medicals would not have risen. The naysayers are not speakijng for the medical community or even for medical practices save the medical insurance companies who will face fair and equitable competition in their essential monopoly or duopoly areas of service.
The US has a lot to catch up for in the medical world. It has been sluipping behind every other developed nation by medical metrics for over a decade.
This is not because America doesn't have the best health care procedures and medicine. It's because of the dispensers of medical care, the medical insurance companies still haven't seen fit to support preventative medical care or any care at all unless there is no way out of it. And that's only after you and you doctor fill a warehouse of paperwork to get it. And then another warehouse to bill it to your insurer. Talk about a paradigm of inefficiency. They seem to have learned buraucracy from the old Soviet Union.

We need broader based advancement. Even more positive would be run ups in stocks that will provide leadership and jobs for tomorrow. Invariably, the market needs to play its role as a means of allocating resources to companies that have a future. The market today is too much like a casino game with people trying to guess where the government will waste the next handful of taxpayer dollars.
Now, if only volume would rise and spread more evenly things would appear more normalized. The most suspicious stock market activity is when financial and AIG volume is a huge portion of shares traded.

If anything begs for deflation it's medical costs and education. The issue is less making the public pay for what it gets and more keeping those in the medical profession, especially insurers, from charging any ridiculous price they can for medical services.
When going to the hospital bring your own asprin, because if you take it there it will run you $100-200. Medical insurers mistake medical need with any price goes. We call those that do such things as opportunists and it's a crime in most cases.

The health insurers have pretty much dropped out of the support column. Perhaps that's why the general public is becoming increasingly favorable towards a public option. If we just got rid of the heath insurers there would be planty of cookies for all of us since they are the biggest cookie monsters out there.
I'd rather suffer an overpaid doctor than an overpaid insurer, an overpaid administrator, an overpaid claims ajuster, and an overpaid lawyer each using my own money to find some way to prevent me from getting the coverage I already paid for. Do we need some sort of health reform? Most definately!
