Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont unveiled a bill that would create a government-run system to provide health insurance for all Americans.
UnitedHealth Group shares fell for a second straight day Wednesday, weighed down by concerns over possible changes to the U.S. health-care system, including creating a government-run system to provide health insurance for all Americans.
Overall, health care has been the worst-performing sector in the stock market this year, rising by just 0.10% as of Wednesday, significantly lagging the broader market indexes. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 13.31% over the same period, and the S&P 500 is 15.95% higher. UnitedHealth CEO David Wichmann, who rarely discusses politics, addressed those Medicare for All proposals in a post-earnings conference call Tuesday. He said such measures would"surely jeopardize the relationship people have with their doctors, destabilize the nation's health system and limit the ability of clinicians to practice medicine at their best."
Late Tuesday, a handful of firms cut their price targets on UnitedHealth. Raymond James analyst John Ransom told clients that the firm's price target moving to $265 from $310 reflects"the ongoing overhang of the healthcare reform debate and Medicare for All proposals."
