Health-care stocks are lagging behind the broader market as Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren climbs in political polls

Updated Oct. 15, 2019 12:26 pm ET

Health-care stocks rallied Tuesday as strong earnings reports from UnitedHealth Group Inc. and Johnson & Johnson provided a much-needed shot of optimism for the sector. Both companies reported stronger-than-expected quarterly results and raised their forecasts, offering at least a brief respite for a sector that has been battered by political headwinds more than a year out from the 2020 election.

As is your practice- you would rather the candidates lie and confuse the electorate. Must say , Trumpski and you will do anything to inflate or increase Corp . profits. The 1-10% need all of you scum bags to increase share price .

Healthcare or Insurance Company Stocks?

Wait what?

Take note that the lagging health care stocks are waning as Warren rises in polls is only further evidence that health care for profit has no social conscience.

Call for Second Amendments!!!!! How much risk did I mitigate for you? Measurable. How much for saving a soul and continue to sanitize for you? Priceless!!! Go figure

elizabethwarrenwilldestroycapitalism, not 'remake' it.

Good. Sell it off people. Let's destroy the insurance and fossil fuel industries into the ground!

Democrat policies are bad for business. Oh how quickly we forgot about the obama recession or the disaster the clinton years were.

Wait until the market really wakes up to this risk - stocks are going DOWN bigly

The Ethical Dilemmas AI Poses for Health CareSome experts believe AI can remake health care by reducing the rate of medical errors and creating a repository of medical knowledge. There are big concerns, too. Experts says. Imagine if you were told by your doctor you have three months to live and he doesnt know why. 🤷🏻‍♂️ So,'errors' really do exist ?! I was told they represent %2 of the'profession'. Would'nt it be easier if we just fired the %2 ?!

Instead of receiving charity care, poor patients charged for medical servicesNonprofit hospitals are required to provide free or discounted care to patients of meager incomes or risk losing their tax-exempt status. Yet nearly half of nonprofit hospital organizations routinely send bills to patients who qualify for charity care. Yes they do and thatlead people who feel awkward to wonder isn’t that supposed to have been a non profit place and yet they send a bill? And will pursue to collections, so poor people are double dipped! Doctor wants a certain medicine, who can afford it? Visa can., no Visa no med To be a person put in that position or limited to certain treatments, can be a life and death situation! Non profits get donations to remain nonprofit and should not hold that status if they bill patients, but poor people would rather try and pay it, being poor is hard enough! Even nonprofit hospitals need to make a profit. There are infinitely more people with meager incomes who don't get the care they need until the cost of their treatment is astronomical. Medical care should be a right, not a privilege.
