Our fundamental outlook for the managed health care sub-industry for the next 12 months is positive. The uncertainty surrounding the prospects of whether there will be health reform has ended. The health reform package, which included the Senate health reform bill, was passed in the House of Representatives on March 21 and signed into law by President Obama on March 23. As we went to press, the reconciliation bill, which revises the Senate bill, was awaiting Senate approval. We view the health reform package as positive for managed care organizations (MCOs), on balance.
