Over the last several weeks, we have been diving deep into what a post-COVID world looks like for the U.S. Medical Economy. In the previous two installments of this three part analysis, we explored the macro drivers of change and their implications at the subsector level in the Post-COVID era. Watch Dec. 9 here; Dec. 15th here. Rough transcipt for Dec. 15th here.
Today, Tom Tobin and I paired up the macro policy changes with the Hedgeye Health Care Microquad analysis. (If you wish to understand how Tom develops and uses Microquads, watch a replay of a talk he gave today here.) Major topics and timstamps below.
