President Barack Obama takes on the bitter healthcare reform debate on Wednesday with a high-stakes speech before a joint session of Congress. What's the trade?

-
UNH
Unitedhealth Grou - $28.56
- -0.24%
- $28.30
"I've been watching UNH (UNH) but I'd get out," says Guy Adami. "Right now there's just too much uncertainty."

-
HCSG
Healthcare Servic - $19.75
- 0.00%
- $N/A
If you’re going to play the space, policy proof your portfolio, counsels Danielle Hughes. For me, that can be done with Health Care Services Group (HCSG) or Teva (TEVA). I also like Teva, adds Jared Levy.

TEVA
Teva Pharmaceutic - $52.72
- -0.60%
- $52.67

BDX
Becton Dickinson - $73.70
- +0.33%
- $73.52
Karen Finerman likes Becton Dickinson (BDX) “even in the face of health care reform.”

-
AET
Aetna Inc. New - $28.40
- -1.01%
- $28.55
And on Friday's Fast Money analyst Charles Boorady was also bullish on the space. He said that although some companies will be hurt by health reform it seems investors are discounting something much worse than what's likely to happen to Aetna (AET) and UnitedHealth (UNH). I’d recommend long positions in both names with Aetna my favorite, said Boorady. I think AET has as much as 25% upside after the uncertainty ends.

-
LH
Laboratory Corp N - $73.66
- +0.40%
- $73.13
In this space forget the HMOs and stick with companies that will still be needed despite what happens politically, counsels Patty Edwards. I think that’s labs such as Lab Corp. (LH) and Quest (DGX).

-
DGX
Quest Diagnostc - $58.15
- +0.03%
- $58.06
