US Health Care Companies With Stock Market Caps of More Than $10 Bil and Which Have Already Released Their Earnings For the Dec 2017 or the Jan 2018 Quarter Had Their Earnings Just Devastated By the Trump Tax CUTS Act, With Total Net Income For Either the Dec 2017 or the Jan 2018 Quarter of Only $1.5 Bil, Down By 93% or Down By $20.6 Bil From Their Previous Year's Quarter Total Net Income of $22.1 Bill ....................................................................................... The US Drug Manufacturers Were Particularly Really Hard Hit By the Trump Tax CUTS Act ....................................................................................... The Anti-US Health Care Company Strategy of the Republicans in the US Congress and of the Trump Administration in Designing the Trump Tax CUTS Act Was Highly Effective, With These Same Companies Getting Their Total Net Income in the Most Recent Quarter Flat Out Hammered By $22.2 Bil Just Due to the Negative After-Tax Earnings Impact of the Trump Tax CUTS Act: Yeah, That Huge Toll Tax on Mandatory Deemed Foreign Earnings Repatriation is Highly Excessive Taxation By the US Government, Particularly For a Tax Cuts Act ....................................................................................... Excluding These Additional Income Tax Expenses of $22.2 Bil Due Directly To the Trump Tax CUTS Act, Their Total Net Income For the Most Recent Quarter Would Have Increased By 7% Over the Previous Year's Quarter ($23.7 Bil vs. $22.1 Bil), Rather Than Declining By 93%
