財富美國500強20大領漲股
Community Health Systems公司 ????《財富》500強排名:184 ????2012年銷售額:150億美元(921億元人民幣) ????2012年總回報率:77.6% ????去年夏天,《平價醫療法案》(Affordable Care Act)——也稱奧巴馬醫改法案(Obamacare)——中的一項條款獲得美國最高法院支持,給醫院經營商Community Health Systems的股價帶來了上漲動力。這項獲得最高法院支持的條款要求個人在工作單位不提供醫保的情況下自行購買醫療保險。最高法院作出裁決后,投資者認為醫院將受益,原因是參加醫保的美國人越多,到醫院就診的病人就會越多,特別是能夠承擔醫療費用的病人。 |
Community Health Systems ????Fortune 500 rank: 184 ????2012 sales: $15 bil ????2012 total return: 77.6% ????The hospital operator got a boost when a piece of the Affordable Care Act -- also known as Obamacare -- was upheld by the Supreme Court last summer. The provision upheld by the court requires individuals to buy insurance if they aren't covered by their employers. After the ruling, investors expected hospitals to benefit because more insured Americans would mean more patients for hospitals, specifically more patients who could pay their bills. |
