"Health care is a vitally important industry that captures about one of every seven dollars spent in the United States. It is a 800-pound gorilla sitting quietly in the corner. Health care not only matters to the millions who invest in leading companies such as Johnson & Johnson, HCA and Medtronic, it affects our lives and the lives of our children."
