Cramer said with government-run health care seemingly off the table, the healthcare stocks will be a classic "multiple expansion" story, with investors now willing to pay more for these companies' earnings now that they know those earnings are safe.

Wellpoint (WLP) remained Cramer's favorite healthcare name. He said this stock, which trades at just eight times earnings, should fetch 13 times earnings. He said the company is well-capitalized and is buying back stock to help bolster its share price.
