Hypothetical: Universal Health Care
If the US decided there would be basic universal health care for every citizen starting tomorrow, what would you invest in and why? Just trying to exercise my brain tonight with this little hypothetical and would be interested in what others have to say.
Looking forward to the responses.

Re: Hypothetical: Universal Health Care
I think this is a sector hypothetical. Assuming I had non-public information about this (and assuming I'd be committing no securities laws violations), I would short a basket of health care insurance companies, and I'd do it with leverage.

[/ QUOTE ] Those are gov't payment programs for reimbursement, we also have basic universal health care which is the actual question at hnad. You can link wiki all you want, it means nothing either as a 'source' or an [lack of] argument.
