Top 8 health insurance firms’ stocks rise since Obamacare implementation

Who would have thought forcing everyone in the nation to buy health insurance would be so profitable?

Turns out if you’d invested in health insurance company stocks at the start of the whole Obamacare fiasco, you’d be sitting pretty right now.

Here’s a list of some of the top health insurance providers in the U.S., and a look at how their stocks have produced decent returns since Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law in 2010.

1. Blue Cross Blue Shield (owned by WellPoint Inc. [WLPO])


2. United Healthcare (UNH)

3. Aetna Group Inc. (AET)

4. Molina Healthcare, Inc. (MOH)

5. Humana Group Inc. (NYSE: HUM)

6. Cigna Corp. (NYSE: CI)

7. Coventry Health Care Inc. (CVH)

8. Superior Health Plan – Owned by Centene Corp. (CNC)

Does anyone else notice a trend here?
Actually, this shouldn’t come as a shock. After all, the health care industry spent nearly $500 million lobbying for health care issues in 2012, and $243 million so far in 2013. “No other industry sector spent more lobbying Congress and the federal government,” according to Breitbart.
One popular healthcare company that is noticeably absent from this list is Amerigroup, which was purchased by WellPoint Inc. in July 2012 for $4.9 billion in cash.
Also absent is the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan as it is part of a privately held network, and Celtic Healthcare, which the Washington Post Co. (yes, the newspaper Amazon founder Jeff Bezos recently purchased) acquired a majority stake in in October 2012.
According to an Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development report from 2008, the United States spends more on healthcare than any other country in the world.

72 Congressmen Sent A Letter To Boehner Warning of Obamacare’s Abortion ‘Slush Fund’

(Before It's News)



Excerpted from CNS NEWS: Today, 72 congressmen sent a letter to House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) urging him to insert language ending abortion funding and religious discrimination in Obamacare into any funding or debt ceiling legislation.
“[T]he Obama administration has committed unprecedented attacks against the unborn and the religious freedom guaranteed in the Constitution, all under the guise of ‘access to health care,’” the letter tells Boehner.
The letter implores Boehner to “incorporate H.R. 940, the Health Care Conscience Rights Act, along with a cessation of federal dollars for abortions into the continuing resolution or on legislation addressing the debt ceiling.”
H.R. 940 says that nothing in the Obamacare law “shall require an individual to purchase individual health insurance coverage that includes coverage of an abortion or other item or service to which such individual has a moral or religious objection, or prevent an issuer from offering or issuing, to such individual, individual health insurance coverage that excludes such item or service.”
H.R. 940 also protects employers and health insurers from being forced to buy or provide coverage for things to which they have a “moral or religious objection.” Keep Reading
