LONDON, March 27, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
The healthcare industry is undergoing a major transformation after the Supreme Court last year upheld President Obama's Affordable Care Act (ACA). The ACA is the biggest overhaul of the healthcare industry in decades. While critics of the healthcare reform say that it will lead to rising costs for the healthcare industry, supporters say that it will bring an increase in the number of insured individuals, which will eventually benefit the industry. The reform will definitely benefit providers of healthcare plans such as Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM), UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE: UNH), Aetna Inc. (NYSE: AET), and WellPoint Inc. (NYSE: WLP). Shares of all four companies edged higher in Tuesday's trading session, tracking gains in the broad market, which rallied on the back of some robust economic data.
