First Thoughts: Ending the month on a high note

Health Uncle:Should You Get In The System Now

The Supreme Court's approval of Obamacare's constitutionality will not change U.S. healthcare overnight.It just means the provisions already in place are more secure,and that the major overhaul of the system slated for January,2014 will proceed as scheduled,barring the unlikely event of repeal by Congress.A certain momentum tends to build up behind safety net programs as more and more citizens benefit from them.Untold millions of Americans will enter the health care system for the first time-a system which reportedly lacks enough primary care physicians to accomodate them.
Americans who have insurance now,but haven't entered the system themselves yet,would be well-advised to do so,while there are still openings for new patients at their local  family practices.Many of them could fill up quickly once the Affordable Care Act is fully implemented in 2014.This is an opportunity for these undoctored insured to begin taking care of themselves and the health care system itself,which will still face rising costs in the decades ahead.

Investing Today:Meandering Through Malaise

We're in a malaise right now,said Tobias Levkovich,Chief  U.S. Equity Strategist at Citigroup.I think that turns in the next 12-18 months.The children of the baby boomers start to save for retirement next year.It's bigger.People are using the U.S. equity market as a safe haven.
The mood on Wall Street is pretty miserable.There's worry about layoffs and compensation.Is this the place for their future?
You've got to do more and more stocks.I think good times will be here 5-10 years out.Telecom has good dividend yields and supplies much-needed mobile services.It will get its pricing power back,Mr.Levkovich predicted.
