Morning Research: Health Management Associates, HCA Holdings, Tenet Healthcare, and Universal Health Services

LONDON, June 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --

The U.S. Supreme Court last year upheld President Obama's Affordable Care Act (ACA), paving the way for the biggest overhaul of the U.S. healthcare sector in decades. The ACA goes into full effect next year. The reform has generally been welcomed by healthcare companies which expect to benefit from it in the long-term. One of the biggest beneficiaries of the healthcare reform is expected to be for-profit hospitals. This is because the ACA is expected to lead to an increase in the number of insured individuals. As a result, more and more patients will seek treatment at hospitals in the future. On Tuesday, June 18, 2013, shares in for-profit hospitals ended mostly higher, tracking gains in the broader market. The major movers in the sector included Health Management Associates Inc. (NYSE: HMA), HCA Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HCA), Tenet Healthcare Corp. (NYSE: THC), and Universal Health Services Inc. (NYSE: UHS).
