Recession + Health Care

Recession + Health CareNow many of you say there is a recession, and with recession that means a slow economy. It is also a period of inflation. Now health care is something that will not change due to the economy, because well if you are dying, who cares about money. Since Americans love privately own items, Amedisys inc the largest provider of medical care. If you put two and two together, you would think this would a safe bet in the future. Now I don't advice going straight into this stock, or at least for now, since I don't believe we have been through 2 quarters of negative GDP growth, so we are not officially in recession. The difference is, at the end of an expansion period, it is not wise to bid on common commodities, just not yet. But if we actually hit this alarming recession, then think about this stock.
