Post-market:
- $HUM (+0.94%) - 8%
- $UNH (+0.79%) - 6%
- $CVS (+0.78%) - 6%
How do you react to this?
- Do you buy in the morning?
- Do you wait until the Americans open and the reaction?
- Or too hot at all (because of the hack and legal investigations at $UNH (+0.79%) ?)
The Biden-Harris administration's policies, including the Inflation Reduction Act, aim to lower health care costs for Americans, directly benefiting millions of people with Medicare Part D by capping their prescription drug deductibles at $2,000.
While these reforms are aimed at improving affordability, they may raise concerns among investors about the potential impact on the profitability and operating costs of companies such as CVS Health and UnitedHealth Group, which have significant stakes in these areas. The anticipation of these regulatory adjustments could create uncertainty about future profits and margins.
