BDX really stands out and appears unique -- although I havent completed my research.
Those are my exact reasons for focusing on BDX. I already own ABBV, GILD, and AMGN from the pharma companies and am looking to diversify a bit.
I've considered ANTM and UNH as well, but am a bit worried about legislative risk should Obamacare be repealed or changed.
I'd also like to add CVS to pair with my WBA, but that is technically considered a staple rather than a health care stock.
SYK also is interesting, but isn't at quite the same value as the other two.
