Hospital and Health Care Related Services Corp Stock Prices Up 305% Under Obama

I found 9 Hospital and Health Care Related Services Corps which file their financial statements with the SEC, which had Pretax Income or Loss of more than $100 mil in any of the first three years of the Obama Administration (2009, 2010 or 2011) and which had their common stock trading on both January 16, 2009, the last day stocks were trading before President Obama took office, and also trading now nearly five years later.

These 9 corps had an average stock price increase of an off-the-charts 305% since President Obama took office.  This is 2.6 times the 117% increase in the S&P 500 Index over the same time period.  And all 9 Hospital and Health Care Related Services Corps had their stock prices more than double during the Obama Administration.

It is easy to understand why financially savvy employees and investors in publicly-held Hospital and Health Care Related Services Corps are extremely happy with the Obama Administration.

And it is pretty clear that the very perceptive Stock Market is signaling that publicly-held Hospital and Health Care Related Services Corps are and will continue to do extremely well under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).  And the Stock Market is also signaling that the ACA has been working quite effectively and will continue to work very well in the future.  

Below here are the common stock prices for each of these hospital and health care related services corps on the most recent day's close yesterday Tuesday December 31, 2013 and also on January 16, 2009.
