Just to explicitly follow up on this really incredibly wrong point, let us review: Largest private health insurance companies in the US: UnitedHealth Group: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=UNH Market Cap: 36.9 Billion Currently trading at $32.7, 52 week range: 23.50 - 36.07 Last quarter beat analysts estimates with 45 cents/share with expected 38 cents/share Analyst Opinion: 8 strong buy, 7 buy, 7 hold, 1 sell http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ao?s=UNH+Analyst+Opinion WellPoint: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=WLP Market Cap: 20.54 Billion Currently trading at 51.38, 52 week range: 44.04 - 70.00 Analyst Opinion: 8 strong buy, 7 buy, 8 hold, 0 Underperform/Sell http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ao?s=WLP+Analyst+Opinion Aetna: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=AET Market Cap: 11.73 Billion Currently trading at 28.10, 52 week range: 24.94 - 35.96 Analyst Opinion: 6 strong buy, 5 buy, 9 hold, 0 underperform/sell http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ao?s=AET+Analyst+Opinion I could go on but hopefully you get the idea. Not a single major health insurance company in the US is in danger of bankruptcy. In fact, every major health insurance company in the US is being kept at a net Buy/Strong Buy rating by analysts. Not exactly a picture of a sector about to nose dive and wait for the government to step in to the ashes.
