Wall Street healthcare and Pharma stock as well as REITs for medical RE Property would get trashed but the economy would benefit in the long run.
Building hospitals that provide healthcare for 30% less. Results in the private sector folding or competing. Finding qualified staff is easy, give work visas to doctors around the world. Long term it would save Americans a lot of money.
