    Hi Josh – Nice catch on this highlight. I do watch this Industry with great interest and anticipation as Affordable Health Care Act gets rolled out. Many of these Hospital Groups should see continued improvement, probably for years and at least till the financial reality of this program is known. With the anticipation of increased insurance enrollment and the service utilization that would likely follow in the healthcare system we will likely see a higher percentage of “winners” within this group. I would surely be interested in knowing your take on this (if you also follow this Industry). I am watching UHS, ACHC, THC but HCA (from what I have read) has a much lower Earnings Growth Rate, actually negative – despite the chart.
