The current healthcare issues and possible 'reform' (I am not too optimistic about it) will definitely have severe effects on these health insurance companies. i agree with Wendell that Obamacare will have negative long-term effects on the general population. In fact, this has became such a rage and so many people are talking about it, it can even be held responsible for the reformation of American government, if that ever happens.
