"The potential of health-care companies to build long-term shareholder value is hard to find in any other sector of today's markets," said Collins. "Improvements in the content and delivery of medical care are not only uniquely exciting in the way that they enhance lives, but also in investment terms, as medical breakthroughs often allow companies to create their own markets, in effect, and to amply reward investors who have the necessary foresight and patience."
