HCA Healthcare Stock Sinks - Senator Sanders' Fox News town hall Monday only made things worse

Excerpt:

The company’s shares shed $4 billion in market value on Tuesday as concerns about universal health-care coverage spread to the hospital industry. Analysts who cover HCA, the largest and most-widely owned hospital operator, have remained notably silent, sticking to their ratings and issuing no commentary on the 10 percent move.

Reports that audiences cheered the government-run system proposal as it was being discussed by Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont at a Fox News town hall on Monday only made things worse.

“The market is ascribing an inordinately high probability that some form of Medicare-for-All proposal could become reality,” Cowen analyst Charles Rhyee wrote in a note. The problem is that even support among centrist Democrats is “noticeably absent” and the proposal would likely see strong resistance from doctors and hospitals, said Rhyee, who covers health insurers.
