5 Hot-Running Health Insurance Stocks to Buy
Many of us are unhappy with our health insurers. Premiums are high. Hospital bills can be large and deductibles for many policyholders are larger than ever. But the world looks good if you own health insurance stocks. There are profits to be made managing government health care programs -- Medicaid, public exchanges, the Children's Health Insurance Program and Medicare. Because despite the confusion over health insurance, government health care expenditures continue to rise. To wit, Medicare spending is projected grow 7.9% annually to 2023 with total expenditures of approximately $1.1 trillion. Meanwhile, Medicaid spending is estimated to grow 5.9% annually to 2023, when it will top $828 billion. Here are five health insurance stocks to buy - all of which have advanced by double digits already in 2018. But don't worry about being late to the party. There's reason to expect more upside in these stocks because they need only to maintain a strategy at which they have proven adept: increase enrollments and contain medical costs.

Dow jumps by more than 500 points at peak, putting blue chips on track for best day since March
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was trading sharply higher midday Tuesday, putting blue chips on track to book the best one-day gain since March. The Dow was up about 492 points, or 2%, at 25,739. If it holds the gain would represent the best point and percentage climb since March 26. Tuesday's rally was partly on the back of a surge in shares of component UnitedHealth Group Inc., which was delivering a roughly 70-point jolt to the price-weighted equity gauge. Share rises for UnitedHealth come after the health-care company raised its full-year earnings outlook and said it continues to see growth in health-care plan membership and premiums. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 index was climbing 2% at 2,804 and the Nasdaq Composite Index advanced by 2.6% to 7,620. Wall Street investors appear to be focusing upbeat earnings, including those from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. , Johnson & Johnson and Morgan Stanley .

S&P 500 retakes 2,800 mark intraday amid broad stock-market surge
The S&P 500 Tuesday afternoon regained its purchase atop a psychologically significant level at 2,800, on the back of a health-care and technology-inspired stock rally. The S&P 500 , most recently, was up 1.9% at 2,802, returning to a level the broad-market benchmark lost grip on during a nasty Oct. 10 rout. The S&P 500 has declined seven of the past eight sessions (not including Tuesday). Tuesday's gains were broad based with all 11 of its sectors trading solidly higher. The day's rally comes amid apparent enthusiasm surrounding a batch of quarterly corporate results from UnitedHealth Group Inc. , Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and others that were seen as upbeat and reaffirming the vitality of earnings and an economic expansion that has thus far underpinned market gains. However, last week investors drove shares lower on fears of rapidly rising interest rates, which equate to higher borrowing costs for companies.

A popular way to bet on the health-care sector, the Health Care Select Sector SPDR ETF , Tuesday afternoon was on track for its best daily gain since November of 2016. The exchange-traded fund was up 2.2% in afternoon action, putting it on pace for its sharpest single-session rise since a 3.4% surge on Nov. 9, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

Tuesday's moves for the so-called "XLV" fund, a reference to its ticker symbol, is supported by a jump in shares of UnitedHealth Group Inc. , which posted better-than-expected quarterly results before the official start of trading, along with Johnson & Johnson . Gains in health-care were helping to lift the broader market (along with information technology), with the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining more than 400 points or 1.6%, the S&P 500 index up by 1.6% and the Nasdaq Composite Index advancing by 2.2%.
