The Healthcare Industry had an impressive day Thursday after
reassuring words from the U.S. Supreme Court on "Obamacare".
UnitedHealth Group, Aetna, Cigna, Coventry, and HealthNet all
gained more than 3 percent last Thursday as the Supreme Court
justices' rhetoric implied that the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act would either be upheld or rejected as a whole.

The critical topic of debate has been the issue of the
individual mandate and severability. If the individual mandate is
struck down but the rest is upheld, it would still require health
insurance companies to provide health care to individuals
regardless of pre-existing conditions. "Relatively healthy people
would just wait until they became sick, and then, you know,
purchase a policy in the ambulance, so to speak," said Matthew
Coffina, senior health care analyst at Morningstar.
The Obama administration argued that if the mandate is found
unconstitutional, many insurance regulations must be tossed out as
well. The rest of the law can stand, it argued. But Justice Antonin
Scalia asked the government's lawyer, "Can you give us a prior
case... that resembles this one in which we are asked to strike
down... the heart of the Act, and yet leave in... the rest of it?
When have we ever really struck down what was the main purpose of
the Act, and left the rest?"
