betty: welcome back to the bloomberg market day. alix: let's go right to julie hyman. she is looking at how the health care sector is doing today. well: it is doing very today despite the fact the rest of the market has turned a little lower, health care remains a performer.

it is also the best performing sector for the year. let's take a look at tenet healthcare to start things off. the hospital operator this morning saw a huge jump in shares. right now come up 12.6%. it is -- has climbed higher than the initial jump we saw in the session. we also see universal health, community health rally in today's session. bloomberg intelligence says community health could generate the most revenue related to the those stocks and are also climbing. basically, when the aca was instituted, it provided additional revenue sources for the hospitals in particular. they had a mandate when someone comes to them for treatment, they have to treat them whether or not they have insurance. now that more people are insured, they are collecting more money. i want to take a look at how

stocks have done over the longer term since aca was instituted. this coming to us from bloomberg intelligence. you have a white line that is the managed care index, the index of health insurance. hospital index is the orange line and the s&p 500 index is the blue line. since aca was instituted, a pretty dramatic outperformance for those groups. let's turn to the health insurers. they did not see as big a bump today. we have some latebreaking news on aetna and humana from our deals team. aetna is closing in on an acquisition of humana. it seems like everyone in this industry has been mentioned as a possible acquirer in recent days. we will see you actually ends up teaming up. saw the hospital spike on the supreme court decision, we saw aetna -- humana spike once we got these headlines out. at aetnae a look

when we sat down with sanders, i asked him about what his colleague said about him. morning, i asked senator mccaskill, your collie, about you and your chances. i want you to listen to what she said. senator mccaskill: i think the media is giving bernie a pass. i really read that he is a socialist. i think he would like to see medicare for all. he will back to see expansion of entitlements. he is not worried about debt at all. think iseone who i frankly against trade. he is against a lot of things. it is unrealistic in this day and age. like to stayyou away from personalities so let me ask you on the issues the senator raised and suggested were part of your socialist believes, guilty as charged?

senator sanders: i find it surprising she says the media doesn't refer to me as a socialist. i am. do i believe in a medicare for all single-payer system? absolutely. do i believe in opposition to senator mccaskill ringing trade policies of air to the american worker and not just large corporations, i plead guilty. this is the first time a colleague has attacked me. you'll have to ask the senator why. and: as far as we know senator sanders know, this is the first time a democratic senator supporting hillary clinton has come after him and probably not a good when students. it comes at a time when our polls out today have arisen to get a quarter of the vote. 50%.s still about he is something of a threat to her. betty: it sounds like that. what about more room to grow for

sanders? does he have more rim to grow? is still being creamed on foreign policy. he is not better amongst women. you will see tonight, i asked and can he close the gap. i think he still has room to grow and people are still getting to know him. alix: thank you so much. you can much more of the interview today at 5:00 eastern on "with all due respect you go betty: still ahead, stay with us. up next, we hear his take on today's decision. ♪

betty: it was a monumental

ruling. the u.s. supreme court upholding the subsidy that under president obama health care law. alix: gregg was at the scene outside the court earlier. discontinues business as usual because in new york, we had our own state exchange. we were not going to be affected. this is not change what we will do from day to day but as a nation, this is important because as we just talked about, the end of the subsidies would have been the debt spiral for the exchanges and the majority of the states in the country. we would have lost between six and 8 million people currently insured with subsidies. that has a catastrophic effect. eg: how would you describe obamacare's impact and what if anything needs to be changed? obamacare was not really

about fundamental health care reform. it was about enhancing access, getting more people insurance. there are now 50 million more people insured today than were previously. what we have to deal with going forward is how are we going to bend the cost curve in health care? what are we going to do to make it more affordable? a means looking at where we are spending a lot of money now. thanks like end of life care, death paddles was the death of the discussion on what we will do about end-of-life care. we have some diseases costing the nation a fortune and will cost more in the future like alzheimer's and type. left to figure out how to bring effective drugs to market faster. with thoseealing questions now. finally, a big problem of what will we do about the cause of some of the new drugs coming on the market? those.ot afford

with medicare, medicaid, commercial insurers not having adequate resources to pay for all of our health-care expenses, we have to bend the cost curve. we have decided to issues that have been tough. greg: dr. davis, at some point, this is one of those laws where it was not perfect in its initial stages. it has not been perfect in its implementation. has that impacted how it has given people access? clearly, it has. that is not surprising. every major piece of social distillation we have had as had have requiredat somewhat distillation thereafter to fix it. the tragedy here is the congress and executive branch are so dysfunctional that we're not able to overcome that and do the things and fix the things that need to be fixed. davis.that was dr. kent

you but all about of the democrats are saying, this is it. we put the issue to rest. i am skeptical. alix: it is a difficult position for some republicans. what about the republicans that happened to be benefiting from obamacare and getting federal subsidies? how do you navigate those waters? betty: it is a congregated issue but at the least, you can bet some of these republicans will continue to talk about repealing it. alix: absolutely. thank you for being here. much more coming up on bloomberg market day. we are talking nike. ♪ we live in a pick and choose world.
