RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Can they raise the dividend given their cash position?Yes that is what I think as well. But in the long haul mgt seems to be able to deal with changes in govt or insurance etc pretty well. I expect people will always need medical attention and likey more then in the past because the population is aging and technology is always finding ways to fix more of our medical issues. Overall in pretty much every country in the world medical cost are rising and faster than inflation so we can grow by just maintaining our share of a growing pie or by getting a larger slice of the pie by acquisitions. Yes technology may create a less intrusive procedure that allows faster recovery or less meds/attention, but that just means you can process more patients in the same time, and we dont seem to be running out of people to treat.
