- PowerShares Dynamic Pharmaceuticals (NYSEArca: PJP): One segment of health care could win big: pharmaceuticals. Millions of new customers are going to flood the market in coming years, which means greater demand for drug treatment.
- Health Care Select Sector SPDR (NYSEArca: XLV): XLV is another broad health care fund (and the largest health care-focused ETF). If you want to play the entire sector, from biotech firms to drug makers to equipment makers, this fund gives you a total, well-rounded play.
- iShares Dow Jones Medical Devices (NYSEArca: IHI): More patients in the market will also mean more demand for medical equipment. Companies in this fund make things like surgical equipment, diagnostic equipment and X-ray products.
- Rydex S&P Equal Weight Health Care (NYSEArca: RYH): This fund, which holds a variety of health care stocks in an equally weighted index, gives exposure to medical equipment and device makers, insurers and hospitals. Like pharmaceuticals and medical devices, hospitals may see an uptick in business as new patients come to market.
