Presents a compelling value while everyone is afraid of government involvement in health care as a whole.
If legislation is passed, more people forced into coverage should boost AGP's numbers as more small businesses seek plans for their employees.. If legislation doesn't pass, AGP is still the same company as it was before except discounted.

No debt and $15.65/share cash,the price for AGP is around $9.00. That puts the true forward PE around 3. The reason for the loss last year was a settlement of $225M that should be over. I would like to see a dividend from this stock, but not likely going to happen.

Amerigroup manages Medicaid programs for a number of states.
They have done a reasonably good job at this, so more states will turn to this company to keep their Medicaid costs down. Keeping these costs down will be especially important during this current recession which is expected to last at least 2-3 years. Sell half at $40.

Operating in a regulated market, sizeable portion of Amerigroup’s revenue comes from government sponsored healthcare programs. With the increasing population of U.S.A. and the rising number of baby boomers, AmeriGroup is all set to milk the growth opportunities available in the industry. Revenues of the company are estimated to rise primarily due to buoyant membership. Total membership in the first quarter surged by 21.2 percent as compare to the same period in 2006. The group has successfully entered into regions like Tennessee, Cincinnati, Maryland and Ohio, and further plans to enter the Georgia region, including Atlanta and the North, East and Southeast regions.
Health care industry has an encouraging outlook for the future and reports a strong E.P.S. escalation. Tax breaks which have been proposed for independent health insurance for families and individuals outside the span of employment are likely to boost the private healthcare segment. The prospects of the industry face a risk from change of control of democratic congress; however, at least through 2008 there can be no changes, as the plans of democratic congress could be blocked by Presidents vetoes.
Robust membership of Ameri Group lifted the revenues for the Q1 ended March 2007 by 23.5 percent to $832 million over the previous year’s quarter. The organic premium revenue growth of the company for the fiscal year 2007 is estimated to be slightly above 30 percent because of additional new products and markets. With the price to earnings ratio placed well below the industry levels, AGP seems to be a healthy investment proposition.
