What Obamacare repeal means for health stocks

Politics have long buffeted health care stocks, but lately it has boosted them. Last week, as the Senate GOP leadership unveiled its new health insurance plan, these shares advanced a robust 3.7 percent. That surge pushed them into the exalted status of the best-performing sector for the year thus far. Health care stocks are now beating the recent champ, technology, 16.7 percent versus 16.4 percent.
