My impression is WLP offers efficiency that advantage healthcare networks that rely on WLP. At $55.60 this is 20% below book value, with >7 P/E, and >11% return on equity. However the politics settle out in the next year or two i am confident WLP can add value to whatever healthcare management systems evolve. My only concern is if recent acquisitions distract management from their essential business. Of course I'm a complete fool with little financial education so take this with salt.
