    INVESTING in healthcare companies could turn out to be a win-win for those of us who are prepared to accept that we are not superhuman, but mortal in every possible way.

    As we’re far from invincible, we might even need to call on the services of one or more healthcare companies now and again.

    So, investing in healthcare companies could serve two useful purposes. First, it could ensure that the companies we like, and could one day need, are well-funded. Second, and perhaps a little selfishly, it could be a great way to get something back for buying goods and services from these businesses.
