Q: What is your opinion on this US healthcare stock regarding valuation, prospects, and risk. It seems cheap but do you consider its concentration on drugs a potential pitfall if the US decides to reduce allowable charges for prescriptions. Would you buy CI or are UNH Elevance or Humana better equities to hold? Appreciate your views.

Q: I have been watching UNH since the Bush years when it was going through rapid mergers and Buffett was buying it up. It wasn’t going up during the Obama presidency at least early on as investors were looking at the impact of public insurance.
Could you please comment on its significant success since and the business model of American health insurers now and in the future?

Q: Hello team,

In your answer to Peter, you listed the above companies for a healthcare watch list. Sorry to corner you by asking about your favorite and why?

CVS is cheap and has long-term promise, but I bet your choice will be between ANTM and HUM based on management. Will you endorse both for purchase in the near future? Why or why not?

Or will you prefer something completely outside this list?

Many thanks for your invaluable objectivity and guidance!

Q: Hi terrific team,

Earlier last year, in the health maintenance sector, you had mixed views on Molina Healthcare (MOH-N) , Aetna(aet-n), Humana(hum-n).
What would be your views now on the best stocks for growth in this sector and are they any ETFs which would cover them well ?
Thousand thanks,
JD
