LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- It seemed so simple back then --
those salad days before the Massachusetts election. Back, oh, about a week ago.
Now, with the election of Republican Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate,
the health-care reform waters have been muddied again.
And health insurance investors don't like it.
In the five trading sessions since Brown was elevated to
replace the late Ted Kennedy -- and ultimately upset the
filibuster-proof balance in the Senate -- the nation's major
health carriers have stumbled, with all sliding 7% or more.
