Obama’s Healthcare Plan: Later than Sooner?

We at Election Stocks not only keep track of stocks and sectors that are sensitive to Obama’s moves in the White House, we try and predict when these moves are going to happen.
As for Obama’s plans for reforming healthcare, news from The Hill is that Congress may attempt to delay this action until 2010. Pete Stark of the Ways and Means subcommittee on healthcare is a respected expert in the field; he feels as though there are more pressing economic issues to address before Congress can turn to Obama’s priorities.
Obama and the Senate would both rather do this sooner than later – perhaps their influence will hasten action from the lower house of the legislature. But until we see indication of that, it looks as though healthcare will not be addressed in the first hundred days.
