Summer is winding down. Vacations are over, the beaches are nearly empty, life guards are looking for indoor jobs and Congress is heading back to work. I know many see that as a contradiction in terms, but Congress does have a great deal of work that must be done in the coming months. Mid-term elections are just 14 months away and work on re-election campaigns will soon dominate schedules, making committee meetings and anything but major votes a secondary consideration.
Into this frenzied bed of activity sits healthcare reform. The issue is huge, and it has taken the industries involved decades to build the institutions about to be torn down. Almost everyone involved has a seat at the table including the government, patients, doctors and employers. The owners of the affected companies, however, are conspicuously absent.

Like every other industry, healthcare depends on Wall Street for much of its capital needs. Growth requires investment, investment requires capital, and the financial markets are the spigot from which capital flows. At $2.4 trillion, the total annual spent on healthcare is well-publicized. Few, however, consider that this expenditure translates into a market capitalization just under $2 trillion. Within the S&P 500, only information technology and financials boast higher total values. The 52 companies comprising the healthcare section of the index equal 13.5% of the index's total value.
In July, four of the congressional committees responsible for health-care legislation approved proposals. The three House committees still have to merge those bills for a House vote. The Senate has one committee bill proposed, but is still waiting for the Finance Committee to release its recommendations.
Read on to see how you can profit from healthcare reform, even if you are not in Congress.
