How Your Smartphone Can Fix America’s Healthcare Crisis / Companies / Healthcare Sector
By: Stephen_McBride
At 30,000 feet in the air, a passenger was suddenly crippled by severe chest pains. The flight attendant called over the loudspeaker, “Is there a doctor on board?” A tall man rose from seat 6C. And the first thing Dr. Eric Topol reached for was his iPhone.
He plugged a credit card-sized heart monitor into the phone and placed it on the woman’s chest. The doctor didn’t need fancy machines to diagnose the problem. An iPhone app showed she was on the verge of a major heart attack.
Topol recommended the pilot make an emergency landing. The passenger was rushed to the hospital and survived.

“AI Healthcare” Stocks Will Mint the World’s First Trillionaire / Companies / Healthcare Sector
By: John_Mauldin
You won’t read about these stocks in the mainstream media. The average investor doesn’t even know they exist. But don’t let that fool you: because a small “hidden” group of companies is figuring out how to merge artificial intelligence with medical technology.
I call them “AI healthcare stocks.” In a minute, I’ll tell you why they’re hands down the #1 way to make big money in AI stocks. But first you must understand: not everyone’s excited about AI.
Some folks are even scared of it. They think AI could eventually try to wipe out the human race. They imagine human-like robots like Ava from the film Ex Machina or Skynet—the computer program that tried to wipe out the human race in the Terminator movies.

JOHNSON & JOHNSON (JNJ) Big Pharama AI Mega-trend Investing 2020 / Companies / Healthcare Sector
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The juggernaut that is Artificial Intelligence continues to rumble along towards an inexorable future, one that most still fail to grasp the magnitude of the changes that are just around the corner as humans think in linear terms whilst the AI trend is EXPONENTIAL. Where developments that even the proponents of AI thought would take several years are taking place in mere MONTHS! That is the power of the unfolding AI MEGA-TREND!
AI has already CHANGED THE WORLD! EXPONENTIALLY! You have an AI super computer right in your pocket for likely less than £1000!
Especially, when one marries AI with other big world changing tech mega-trend "Quantum Computing"! Put the 2 together and we are literally going to see an explosion in SUPER INTELLGENCE that would soon far exceed that of human intelligence, following which it won't be that many years before the AI exceeds the intelligence of the sum of ALL humans! For better or worse, that's the path we are on.

3 Ways to Play the Ageing Population Healthcare Surge / Companies / Healthcare Sector
By: Robert_Ross
2019 was a good year for stocks.US stocks have rocketed 28% this year. This is the second largest annual gain since 1999. And the tenth straight year stocks have climbed higher.
This has a lot of investors worried that stocks could tank soon. But this bull market is far from over. My research shows stocks should continue to rise until at least September 2020.
And falling interest rates could help that happen… especially for healthcare stocks.

Investing to Profit and Benefit from Human Life Extension AI Stocks and Technologies / Companies / Healthcare Sector
By: Nadeem_Walayat
We are currently galloping full speed along an exponential curve that unlike the neural nets of the 1990's, that promised a lot but delivered very little, this time it really looks like we are on the verge of AI success, not only that but it heralds changes in every aspect of our lives most of which we cannot even imagine today, hence the term the singularity is often used, the AI event horizon beyond which we cannot see.
This my latest analysis on how to capitalise on the unfolding machine intelligence mega-trend through investing in leveraged to AI stocks, though artificial intelligence should more accurately be termed as Super Intelligence for AI will only be comparable to human intelligence for a brief period of time, perhaps no more than a few short months before AI starts leaving us behind, as we will largely remain stuck in that which our 1300cc or so of grey matter can process, where even the likes of today's Einstein's in comparison will have mice like cognition within a decade or so of the machine intelligence first surpassing humans that will likely prompt many to seek to merge with the machine intelligence to go beyond biological constraints to enhance cognitive abilities such as in memory storage and access.

Why is US Healthcare So Costly? / Politics / Healthcare Sector
By: Harry_Dent
One of the Baby Boomers biggest concerns about retirement is the cost of healthcare.It’s a big problem.
I have a concierge doctor, who I pay a fixed annual fee. This gets me free visits and discounts on blood tests and other things I need. On top of that, I have a high–deductible insurance policy that only covers unexpected costs over $6,000, like if I have a heart attack or something.

Why Trump Should Literally Start Selling American Blood To China / Companies / Healthcare Sector
By: John_Mauldin
BY PATRICK WATSON : In June, the US ran a $32.6 billion “trade in goods” deficit with China. That’s the difference between our imports from China ($42.3 billion) and our exports to China ($9.7 billion), according to the US Census Bureau.
That sounds terrible, but it’s really not if you look at the big picture.
The Trump administration doesn’t like trade deficits, so they must be reduced or eliminated. To do that, we need Chinese consumers to buy more “Made in the USA” products.

Tackling Higher US Healthcare Costs / Personal_Finance / Healthcare Sector
By: Rodney_Johnson
In 2015, I thought my healthcare renewal statement was wrong.The premium for my shrinking family of three (two adults and one child) was increasing by more than 30%, to $1,454 per month. My earnings place me out of the subsidy bracket, so these are real dollars out of our budget.
There were plenty of insurance companies to choose from. Shrinking availability was not a problem. It was just breathtakingly expensive.

Obamacare May Become Zombiecare In 2018 / Politics / Healthcare Sector
By: John_Mauldin
BY PATRICK WATSON : Before the election, few people would have predicted today’s healthcare standoff.
Clinton supporters expected Obamacare would continue with some minor adjustments. Those behind Trump thought Republicans would quickly repeal Obamacare, as repeatedly promised.
Instead, the GOP House (barely) passed a replacement plan that the GOP Senate has little interest in pursuing. Negotiations continue, so we’ll see.

Solutions For Surviving US Healthcare Collapse In 2018 / Politics / Healthcare Sector
By: John_Mauldin
BY PATRICK WATSON : My weekly letter, Connecting the Dots, has two goals: to be informative and to be thought-provoking (subscribe here for free). Last week, it accomplished both—but not the way I expected.
Many people call the Affordable Care Act a great success that only needs minor adjustments. So when I picked the title of last week’s issue, How to Survive the Obamacare Collapse, I thought some people would be upset that I questioned its viability.

2 Charts Show Just How Close We Are to US Healthcare Collapse / Politics / Healthcare Sector
By: John_Mauldin
BY PATRICK WATSON : Like it or not, Obamacare lives. The question is, for how long?
President Trump is right when he says the Affordable Care Act will collapse on its own. Its condition is terminal, and Congress declined treatment.
Maybe that’s no big deal to you. Maybe you’re on Medicare, or get group health coverage from your employer, or are independently wealthy, or you’re in good health and confident you will remain so.

The Case for Socialized Medicine / Politics / Healthcare Sector
By: John_Browne
Last week the American political establishment was shaken to its foundation when the Republican Party leadership withdrew the American Health Care Act (AHCA) just before the vote was to be taken on the floor of the House of Representatives. Besides being a most unusual procedure, it exposed a fundamental split in the country,reflected not merely in Congress but within the Republican Party. GOP purists, represented by the House Freedom Caucus, demanded more significant roll backs in socialized medicine that were contained in the Ryan plan. Their refusal to back the plan, after years of promising complete repeal, doomed the bill.

What Obamacare's Failure Means for America / Politics / Healthcare Sector
By: Clif_Droke
The first legislative setback of the Trump Administration is being celebrated by many, but not by middle class taxpayers and business owners. A Republican-led Congress last week failed to generate the consensus required to overturn key provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). In a frank admission of defeat, House Speaker Paul Ryan declared that Obamacare would remain "the law of the land."
