"As sentiment and the stock market increasingly look bearish, look for the recent outperformance in health care to continue," The Wall Street Journal reports. Health-care firms were "hardly a leader" during the "initial run of stocks following the March lows," but they also "fared much better during the market"s plummet. Last week, "health care was the one exception to a sliding market." Katie Stockton, chief market technician for MKM Partners, "says it is likely most of the health-care sector will outperform and not just large pharmaceutical companies" (Rogow, 6/23).

Health Care Overhaul: The Public Option Debate CQ Politics A public option can take many forms and the pros and cons depend heavily on the details. In broad strokes, however, advocates such as Howard Dean like to press the analogy to the highly popular Medicare program (Madison Powers, 6/24). Why We Need A Public Health-Care Plan The Wall Street Journal Without a public optionò€¦ private insurers, doctors, hospitals, drug companies, and medical suppliersò€¦ have little or no incentive to supply high-quality care at a lower cost than they do now (Robert Reich, 6/24). Obama Health Care Plan"s Overreach The Washington Times Why do we need President Obama"s big-bang health care reform? What"s the real agenda here? If it"s really to cover the truly uninsured, a much cheaper, targeted, small-ball approach would do the trick ... maybe the real goal is a larger, ultraliberal plan aimed at a government takeover of the U.S. health system (Lawrence Kudlow, 6/24).

Deja Vu on Health Care? The Washington Post When it comes to the prognosis for overhauling health care, pessimism is a safe bet, and there"s been ample basis recently for that gloomy assessment (Ruth Marcus, 6/24). Hinge pay on outcomes to trim cost of Medicare The Spokesman-Review Physician fees haven"t soared. But per-patient usage has: more doctor visits, more and longer hospital stays, more surgery and more tests and other medical procedures - each generating a separate bill (Editorial, 6/24).
