Between December 31, 2008 and April 2018, the S&P 500 saw 177 percent growth. By any measure, a strong performance for that nearly 10 year stretch.

But the S&P 500’s performance pales in comparison to that of Aetna Insurance. The health insurance giant saw its stock value go up by 445 percent in that same time frame. However, Aetna was outshone by Humana, which saw its stock go up 608 percent. Not to be outdone, United Health saw its stock grow by 655 percent. But the real winner in that time frame was Cigna, whose stock value grew by a whopping 866 percent.

To put a fine point on it, insurance companies outperformed the S&P 500 by anywhere from 2.5 times up to five times over nearly a decade.

The author has a laughably stupid idea of what Treasury and IRS can do with regulations.  A regulation such as he suggested would almost certainly be overturned by the courts as having no basis in law.

But what of the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

He provided some good info in the play and suggests a simple revision to an existing regulation, not a new regulation.
