big pharma big medicare reduced profit?

IMO the major drug companies will always be seen as part of a conservative portfolio of investments that are long term investments. (the dividends paid by these companies are IMO seen as a "positive" for this group)

MRK just spun off Medco....which would account for their lower share price. (I just helped my father tonight "find" the tax information on the spin off so he could enter this information into his computer....so I was looking at the recent trading in MRK.)
