    去年夏天，《平价医疗法案》（Affordable Care Act）——也称奥巴马医改法案（Obamacare）——中的一项条款获得美国最高法院支持，给医院经营商Community Health Systems的股价带来了上涨动力。这项获得最高法院支持的条款要求个人在工作单位不提供医保的情况下自行购买医疗保险。最高法院作出裁决后，投资者认为医院将受益，原因是参加医保的美国人越多，到医院就诊的病人就会越多，特别是能够承担医疗费用的病人。

    The hospital operator got a boost when a piece of the Affordable Care Act -- also known as Obamacare -- was upheld by the Supreme Court last summer. The provision upheld by the court requires individuals to buy insurance if they aren't covered by their employers. After the ruling, investors expected hospitals to benefit because more insured Americans would mean more patients for hospitals, specifically more patients who could pay their bills.
