U.S. Healthcare Legislation Investment Impact

For all of you "Good socialists." out there please keep in mind that a government powerfull enough to give you what ever you want is fully capable of confiscating every thing you have. To pararhrase Ben Franklin: Those who are willing to sacrifice their liberty for a measure of security will have neither.

U.S. Healthcare Legislation Investment Impact

Pages 91-93 section 202 in it's entirety will produce a single payer 100% U.S. Government run health care system in ten years. Doctor compensation and drug pricing will be "Negotiated." by government run exchanges starting in 2013. Oh wait I forgot the government doesn't negotiate it dictates terms. Just ask the doctors accepting Medicaid/Medicare how well that works. As I have posted here before the sole beneficiaries of this are the trial lawyers. Just think of all the constitutional issues to be argued. However once everything is said and done this will end badly for them as well. Once the single payer system is achieved the government will exempt itself from legal action much as school districts do now.

The banks are doing wonderfull profiting handsomly except the ones that keep failing. Pesky banks. Rediculuosly low expectations still making crappy earnings from cost cutting look like everything is peachy. Bucky is likely to trend down as Da Boyz take money off the table this week. Hopefully it will sustain support at 77-78. Could be a good week to buy into some sectors (Tec anyone?) if the expected dip occurs. Happy Monday and good luck to all.
