Wall Street Analyst Says Hillary Clinton Would Be the Best President for Healthcare Investors

Well we know who Wall Street's choice is.



Amidst a tense battle between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders over competing visions for health care, a leading Wall Street analyst has put out a report saying that Clinton would be the best candidate for healthcare investors.

In a report titled “Healthcare: Our 2016 Outlook,” S&P Capital’s IQ Healthcare Equity Research’s Jeffrey Loo writes that Clinton should be the preferred choice for the industry because she will preserve the Affordable Care Act and be unable to pass meaningful drug reform legislation:

Overall, we believe the best scenario for healthcare investors is a Democrat, presumably Hillary Clinton, winning the Presidency, as we anticipate the Republicans retaining control of Congress. In this scenario, in spite of Clinton’s numerous “threats” to rein in drug prices, allowing the re-importation of drugs, and allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices, we believe it is highly unlikely Clinton will be able to pass these initiatives through a Republican controlled Congress. Conversely, the Republicans’ efforts to repeal Healthcare Reform, would be thwarted by a Clinton veto as we do not anticipate the Republican obtaining the 2/3 votes to override a veto.

..., they get upset when someone might make one that doesn't cater to them first.

I'm shocked. No, really. I swear. Mhm.

What a line. "We already know she can't get any of the things she's talking about, so vote for her."
