"President Obama wasn't the only one cheering Thursday's Supreme Court ruling in favor of Obamacare. Investors were too.

Health care stocks surged on the news. Hospitals were the biggest winners. Tenet Health (THC) jumped over 11% -- the biggest daily gain out of the 500 stocks in the S&P 500 index. The company runs 80 hospitals in the U.S. and over 400 outpatient facilities.

HCA Holdings (HCA), which runs 165 hospitals, soared 8.5%, and Universal Health Services (UHS), which has 235 centers, jumped over 7%."

Ref: CNN

It would seem these corporations expect to be paid for the medical services they provide, . . . by someone. DonDiego leaves the question of ". . . by whom?" to investigation by the interested reader.

And here I thought doctors were being forced out of business because of Obamacare. Someone told me that once. But these numbers would suggest care givers are doing quite well with millions more people paying them a visit....and they're hiring.


So much for the "job killing" healthcare bill, huh? Dont show this data to Speaker Boehner.

So the bankrupt state health exchanges live on. The law that has 40% support lives on. Hospitals are happy because they now have access to the federal govt pork barrell.

For the past 2 weeks my wife had to go thru numerous x-rays (nothing was wrong). During the entire process she did not speak to a single doctor!

When we get sick we cannot get an appointment with our primary care md. He has been forced into a giant group practice & we are told to go the urgent care ctr, where I may or not see a md. They misdiagnose most of the time. One time they tried to put me in the hospital. The solution has been to sneak into his part of the medical center and force the issue.

Yeah obamacare
