Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump's pick for health secretary, addressed a wide range of medical-related topics on Wednesday during a confirmation hearing with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43306674/trumps-hhs-pick-robert-kennedy-jr-begins-senate-confirmation-hearings">the Senate Finance Committee.</a>
While Kennedy&#8217;s tone in each back-and-forth varied, depending on the senator, it was evident that Kennedy&#8217;s role in the new administration would have a tremendous impact on both pharma and insurance stocks.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Drug Price Negotiation</h3>
During one exchange about the high cost of drugs with Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Kennedy said: "Senator, my understanding is that the White House issued an executive order, I believe today, supporting the drug negotiations under the I.R.A. President Trump was very aggressive during his first term about negotiating drug prices."
In reality, Trump has not signed an executive order on the topic since he was sworn into office. A Wednesday news <a href="https://www.cms.gov/newsroom/press-releases/cms-statement-lowering-cost-prescription-drugs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">release</a> from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said that lowering the cost of prescription drugs for Americans &#8220;a top priority&#8221; for the Trump administration and that he would work to improve the transparency of the negotiation process.
Perhaps Kennedy was recalling Trump&#8217;s first term. In 2020, then-45th President Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/20/09/17482940/trump-signs-executive-order-to-lower-us-drug-prices-after-negotiations-with-drugmakers-fail">signed an executive order</a> on U.S. Medicare drug prices intending to reduce costs. Industry leaders, including Pfizer (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>) CEO Albert Bourla, criticized the move. Pfizer was seeking regulatory approval to expand its late-stage vaccine trial at the time.
If Trump signs such an order, it would be a rare show of support from his camp for a Biden-era initiative. In addition to Pfizer, it would also impact major companies like Bristol Myers Squibb, Eli Lilly (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>), Johnson &amp; Johnson (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNJ#NYSE">JNJ</a>), Merck &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>), AstraZeneca (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZN#NASDAQ">AZN</a>), Novartis (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVS#NYSE">NVS</a>) and AbbVie (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABBV#NYSE">ABBV</a>).
Last month, the Biden administration <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43062779/popular-ozempic-wegovy-selected-for-next-round-of-medicare-drug-price-negotiations">identified the next 15 drugs</a> as subject to negotiation. The list included Ozempic and Wegovy — two expensive drugs for diabetes and obesity owned by Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>).

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Insurance Providers</h3>
According to the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01/29/us/rfk-jr-health-senate-hearing">New York Times</a>, Kennedy wasn&#8217;t exactly familiar with Medicare and Medicaid, but expressed support for Medicare Advantage, where private insurers provide coverage for elderly Americans.
Kennedy also called out what he considered to be &#8220;rapacious behavior by insurance companies." He even suggested he would support some of the efforts undertaken during the Biden administration to crack down on abusive tactics like denying care and overcharging the government.
Traders would be wise to keep an eye on how insurance stocks — especially those tied to Medicaid and Medicare providers — react if Kennedy is sworn in. The major players in this space include: 
UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UNH#NYSE">UNH</a>), the largest Medicare Advantage insurer in the U.S.; Centene Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CNC#NYSE">CNC</a>); Elevance Health (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ELV#NYSE">ELV</a>), one of the largest Medicaid managed care organizations; Humana (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HUM#NYSE">HUM</a>); CVS Health (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CVS#NYSE">CVS</a>); Molina Healthcare (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MOH#NYSE">MOH</a>); and Cigna (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CI#NYSE">CI</a>).
What&#8217;s Next: Kennedy seeks to be Secretary of Health and Human Services — a position that would put him in charge of the health of the American people.
The title also puts him in charge of the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
He will appear before the Senate Committee on Health, Education Labor and Pensions on Thursday.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Molina Healthcare's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Molina Healthcare's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.45%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
Insightful as they may be, insider transactions should be considered alongside a thorough examination of other investment criteria.
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down.
