Healthcare Stocks Following New Market Trends: Premier Health Group (PHGRF) (PHGI), Alliqua BioMedical, Tonix Pharma, & Adial Pharma
CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 29, 2018 / The healthcare industry is evolving but isn't without its hurdles. While doctors and researchers work to find cures and solutions to both common and uncommon ailments, some barriers in the market end up costing patients hundreds and even thousands of dollars.
According to CNBC, Americans spend a combined total of about $3.4 trillion on medical care every year -- that's nearly $10,500 per person per year. And, in 2016, a U.S. Census Bureau report revealed, 91.2 percent of the U.S. population had health insurance, though the cost was still too high for some. With investors looking at potential safe haven industries, healthcare and biotechnology have come up in the latest round of conversations. Thursday we're looking at four health and biotechnology stocks to watch.
