One of the 52 S&P500 Dividend Aristocrats. Competitors include BAX and BSX. At 70$ BCR is not that cheap at all, but it's a quality company, which will do well in the long run and for the short term, when the current April bull run is over.

Low debt, high profit margins for the industry (just under 20%) and a nice steady increase in Total Cash from Operations down through the years. Operating expenses have also risen over the same period, but not as much indicating that management have a good handle on things. I think the impact of the Obama plan is already built into the current price, so I don't expect a lift from that.
