That's when ALL stocks took a nosedive, you know, when we almost had a full-blown depression. This chart shows me that healthcare stocks are climbing back to pre-crash levels -- just like the overall stock market trend, not just health care. So, health care stocks are now reaching the same level they were in 2008 -- before the crash and before ACA was passed. Where's the windfall? I still don't see it.
