		<description><![CDATA[President Obama officially signed Congress’ hotly contested healthcare reform into law on March 23, 2010. When that happened, both sides of the debate filled the newspapers, blogosphere and break rooms with their opinions on the subject… not that they hadn’t been doing just that before as well. But now that the initial furor has died down at least a bit, it seems like a good time to look closely at the facts instead of the hype from either side. In particular, investors should know what the healthcare reform means for the businesses most closely linked to it, such as hospitals and the pharmaceutical industry. What Hospitals Get From Healthcare Reform Let’s start out with the United States hospitals, which include big, publicly traded names such as: Universal Health Services (NYSE: ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently, we downgraded Tenet Healthcare Corporation (THC) to Neutral with a price target of $5. Our price target is based on 23.8x our 2010 earnings estimate of 21 cents. Although we are pleased with the company’s efforts to improve service quality, the competition in the industry is a concern. Furthermore, bad debt expense in the most recent quarter increased $12 million year-over-year on a same-hospital basis. The increase in bad debts could weaken Tenet. Furthermore, Tenet’s dependence on government programs for revenues has inherent risks. The company operates in a highly competitive and fragmented health care industry. Tenet competes with players such as Universal Health Services Inc. (UHS) and Lifepoint Hospitals Inc. (LPNT). Competitors will always look to grab market share by offering lower prices, new services or services that ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Investor sentiment in healthcare continues to be driven by both Washington and the state of the broader economy. In late February, President Obama released his administration&#8217;s first budget proposal, which included the provision of a $630B reserve fund for healthcare reform over the next 10 years, financed in part by increases in taxes and changes to government program payments for physicians, hospitals and insurers (Medicare Advantage in particular). Details of the measure continue to evolve as discussions continue at the congressional level. Earlier in February, the $787B economic stimulus package was passed in the Senate and House. The $150B in planned healthcare spending will include $25B towards the expansion of COBRA, $20B for health technology, and $85B for Medicaid assistance to states. The package clearly aims to improve the infrastructure ]]></description>
