Healthcare Sector

This sector includes stocks that are in the hospital management, healthcare products and pharmaceuticals industry. It is considered a defensive industry by some due to the stable demand for healthcare despite fluctuations in the economy. (Some even believe that the healthcare sector may even benefit from a weaker economy as people have higher levels of stress) Healthcare is also regarded by some as a growth industry due to the growing number of babyboomers that need treatment and care as they age and live longer.
