Healthcare Reform: Oh, What a Mess! Posted by Johanna Bennett Salvaging healthcare reform is going to be a long and messy process. In a report published by the Associated Press earlier today, Speaker Nancy told reporters she lacks the votes to quickly move the Senate’s sweeping health-care overhaul bill through the House. According to the AP story, her concession leaves little hope for a White House-backed plan to quickly push the Senate-approved health bill through the House, followed by a separate measure making changes sought by House members, such as easing the Senate’s tax on higher-cost health plans. Healthcare stocks were down ahead of the broader stock market in early afternoon market action. The S&P Healthcare Index fell 2.1% this afternoon, compared to less than 2% declines by the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrials. The Morgan Stanley Healthcare Payor Index fell 2.2%, while some of the biggest managed care stocks generated even bigger declines.
