Wellpoint and United Health, both great stock picks.
Here's a great article on managed-care organizations (MCOs) and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs)
"As MCOs, WellPoint and UnitedHealth connect millions of customers with hundreds of thousands of health-care providers. As with the PBMs, size is the key determinant of bargaining power.
