YouTube – THE TEA PARTY & THE CIRCUS – Final Healthcare Reform Protest.

A lot of debate is raging across the country on Health Care Reform.  But for me, the true litmus test for whether or not the current proposed legislation is a win for the Insurance companies is to watch their stocks.

In the past month the stock prices of the top 4 health insurers (WellPoint, Aetna, UnitedHealth and CIGNA) rose an average of 2.8%.

This could mean two things:  1) The current proposed legislation is a win for the Insurance companies, or 2) Investors don’t think the legislation will pass.

With most odds makers betting on legislation passing, it just looks like this is a win for the Insurers.
