A country doctor is giving his opinion about the new health care plan.  His insight is not only blunt, but it’s also surprising.  Wasn’t this bill supposed to solve all of our healthcare problems?

Now that the emotional grandstanding and political intrigue are over, it’s finally time to decipher this massive piece of legislation.  Dr. Rick Bendinger MD does just that and he still has a lot of questions

What makes his blog so interesting is that it’s coming from a real practitioner who actually knows his patients by name.  They are his friends and neighbors in the small Alabama town where he serves.  These folks are very lucky.

Are there companies out there which will actually excel and make money in the future?

Several health stock analysts have supplied their lists.

Granted, we are not giving investment advice, but we think their answers are interesting.

Among some of the favorites are Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic Inc and Boston Scientific.

How these companies were chosen is interesting because one the biggest across the board reasons was because the senior population is increasing and these companies are understanding the needs of an aging population.

More seniors mean more needs and more challenges. 

Money will also be tighter in the future and health providers are going to have to provide services, products, drugs, etc at lower prices.  These companies also recognize that fact, according  to the analysts.
