Obama's healthcare plan, outlined Thursday, calls for lowering Medicare payments to private insurers, allowing consumers to buy cheaper medicines from overseas and preventing drug companies from making deals that block generic competition.It seems like an extreme reaction in the HMOs, says Karen Finerman. I think Aetna (AET), UnitedHealth (UNH) and WellPoint (WLP) are all cheap on the news.
