For profit hospitals? In this economy, are you serious?? Yes, helthcare is vital and will become more and more necessary as the US population continues to age at an increasing brisk pace. However, hospitals need cash/credit to expand and continue meeting demands. Obviously there is a lack of available credit out there right now and therefore this company will trend a bit lower. If Obama is elected, socialized medicine will tank this company and expected a share price of $0. If McCain is elected, expect this company to continue down, just at a slower pace. Either way, it be gonig down!!! Momentum play in a bad sector.
