San Francisco/Silicon Valley Health Care Stock Market Prices Up More Than 18 Times Since March 6, 2009 ..... Driven in Part by the Obama Administration, Nancy Pelosi and the ACA

Today in San Francisco, President Obama will be giving a presentation at the Annual Meeting of the US Conference of Mayors and also attending a DNC and a DCCC Fundraiser, thus for one item, I think it would be helpful to research just how well San Francisco/Silicon Valley Health Care Companies have been doing economically in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) environment.

Given that the stock market prices of these Health Care Companies are up 1,859% since March 6, 2009, do you think it really would make any economic sense for the US Supreme Court to reverse a significant part of this economic progress?

Below here are stock market prices on yesterday June 18, 2015, on March 6, 2009 and on December 31, 2007 for the 41 San Francisco/Silicon Valley Area Headquartered Health Care Companies with Stock Market Caps now of at least $100 mil and which have had their common stocks trading from December 31, 2007 through the most recent date June 15, 2015, or the date the company was sold for the two companies sold since 2014, along with the related Stock Market Price Percentage Changes:
