The 5 Best Healthcare ETFs (1 From Vanguard)

health No Comments »

The healthcare sector includes a broad range of products and services related to medical treatment, and has historically outperformed the market. Here we’ll look at the best healthcare ETFs.

// TIMESTAMPS:

00:26 – Why Healthcare Stocks?
01:30 – XLV
01:54 – VHT
02:29 – FHLC
02:53 – IXJ

// PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT:

The healthcare sector broadly covers pharmaceutical manufacturers, hospitals, health insurers medical devices, surgery centers, and more. The sector has historically outperformed the broader market with lower volatility, and tends to be more resilient during market downturns, even though the performance of health care stocks is dependent upon a complex range of economic and demographic factors. Trends affecting the health care sector include an aging population, prevalence of chronic disease, technology and innovation, insurance coverage, personalized medicine, and more. Major players include Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, Medtronic, Amgen, etc.

The financial success – and subsequent stock behavior – of many of these companies hinges heavily on clinical trial outcomes, patents, and FDA approvals. Like consumer staples, the health care sector is considered non-cyclical, and thus can be a smart defensive equities play. Here are the best healthcare ETFs to get exposure to these stocks.

XLV – Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund
VHT – Vanguard Health Care ETF
FHLC – Fidelity MSCI Health Care Index ETF
IXJ – iShares Global Healthcare ETF
RYH – Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Health Care ETF

Unlike the previous funds, the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Health Care ETF, as the name suggests, is equally-weighted, meaning each stock in the fund gets roughly equal representation. Equal weighting may be an attractive, desirable feature in this context, as it reduces single company risk in a sector of highly volatile stocks. It also spreads risk more evenly among different sub-industries like pharmaceuticals, biotech, medical devices, facilities, and more. Because of its equal weighting, RYH also heavily tilts mid-cap. This ETF seeks to track the S&P Equal Weight Health Care Index and has an expense ratio of 0.40%.

Blockchain technology is being used to address numerous issues in the healthcare industry. Because blockchain technology can be applied to virtually any industry, it is no surprise that it has found its place in the healthcare industry.

The use of blockchain technology in healthcare has been around for a while now, but the technology is still considered to be in its infancy. This means that there are still many ways that blockchain can be used to improve upon existing processes, while also providing new opportunities for innovation.

Blockchain technology can be used to store medical records securely, ensure patient privacy and confidentiality, streamline payment processes, prevent fraud and corruption, reduce costs associated with insurance claims processing and administration, increase efficiency by eliminating paperwork errors or lost documents during patient transfers between facilities or hospitals/clinics across state lines or countries without requiring human intervention to verify identity before allowing access into secured areas such as operating rooms, etc…

Healthcare is a well-known industry for its slow adoption of new technology. However, blockchain technology is one of the few emerging technologies that has the potential to change the healthcare industry by bringing transparency and trust to all parties involved—from patients and providers to payers and manufacturers.

What is Blockchain Technology?

Blockchain technology is a way of storing and sharing data in an immutable, secure ledger that cannot be altered or tampered with. It’s often used in cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, but it can also be applied to other industries like healthcare.

How Does Blockchain Technology Work in Healthcare?

Blockchain technology has many applications in healthcare, including:

Medical records storage: The blockchain ledger could store medical records securely so they’re accessible by doctors and patients without any risk of being altered or hacked;

Medical research: Researchers could use blockchain technology to store and share information on clinical trials with their peers so they can work together more effectively on clinical studies;

Drug supply chain management: Drug makers could use blockchain technology to track drugs from their origin through each step of production and distribution, ensuring that counterfeit or tainted products don’t make it into the supply chain.

Blockchain technology is an emerging technology that has the potential to disrupt the healthcare industry. Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that allows information to be stored in a secure and transparent format. Blockchain technology has been used in finance, but it is now being applied to other industries, including healthcare.

The benefits of blockchain for healthcare include:

• Enhanced security: Since data is stored on multiple computers instead of one centralized server, it is less vulnerable to hacking and fraud.

• Better data management: Patients can share their information with different doctors without having to repeat themselves or fill out a new form every time they see someone new. Also, since the data is stored in public blocks on the blockchain, patient records can be easily accessed by medical staff across institutions.

• Increased transparency: Patients can track exactly what happens with their information from start to finish, which reduces errors and improves trust between doctor and patient.

Study after study affirms that doctors treat their patients differently, depending on the patient’s race. Minority patients get different diagnoses, different treatments, and are often subject to being stereotyped by their physicians.

Treatment Plan for TRT – 12 Rules to Live by on Testosterone – Doctor's Guide

health No Comments »

This video is about the treatment plan for TRT. This is part of my 12 Rules to Live by on Testosterone series. The treatment plan must be individualized for the patient based on the previous rules from this series. Most important, it needs to be sustainable, safe, and consider any medical conditions the patient may have. This video explains how to take everything we’ve learned in this series and apply it to the treatment plan, as well as how to determine if TRT treatment is right for you. I cover safety, dose, ancillary agents, and co-managing TRT and psychiatric issues. Lastly, I cover how to micromanage your own treatment with the help of your medical practitioners. If you are considering TRT or already on it, please watch this video!

As the Anabolic Doc, since 2003, I’ve provided men who are using or have used anabolic steroids a confidential, ethical and professional medical venue to discuss their use. I do NOT in any way support the use of any performance enhancing drugs – PEDs, anabolic steroid or other medicine for muscle building or body transformation. The “off-label” use of PEDs, as such agents is considered illicit and may lead to adverse health outcomes. Please consult an expert health professional regarding any medical agent and do NOT use any medicine without the explicit advice and supervision of an appropriate medical expert.

Politics, Policies and Law in Chronic Disease: Opportunities for Contributions from Public Health

health No Comments »

The sixth of the Dean’s Seminars on Chronic Disease, “Politics, Policies, Law and Chronic Disease: Opportunities for Contributions from Public Health,” featured two outstanding speakers: Derek Yach, MBChB, MPH, a leading analyst of international healthcare policy who has joined in defining grand challenges of chronic non-communicable diseases and avenues to reducing chronic disease prevalence through public and private sector efforts; and Michael S. Sparer, PhD, JD, chair of the Department of Health Policy and Management here at the Mailman School of Public Health and a trenchant commentator on Medicaid politics and policy, including reform efforts, intergovernmental partnerships, and the politics of incrementalism, among many others.

The seminar examined the natural history of good ideas in public health—the way that new formulations of opportunities in chronic disease prevention must traverse complex and vulnerable pathways from newly perceived opportunities to formulation and application of health policy; and through the political process and into law, often in significantly altered form. A key challenge for public health, particularly for academic public health, lies in informing the process and protecting the influence of facts, as well as dispassionate reasoning.
