CHICAGO – Imagine that you are an elected member of the United States House of Representatives in the middle of the debate on the health-care reform act that was passed in 2010. In a House committee meeting, you learn before anyone else that a proposed public-insurance option – a program that would compete with private insurance – will not be included.
发自芝加哥——试想现在是2010年，你是个选举上台的美国众议院议员，而且正在对即将通过的医疗改革法案进行激烈辩论。先前提交审议的某个公共保险选项将对私人保险公司构成竞争，而在众议院委员会会议上，你比其他人早一步得知该选项将被排除在议程之外。在知道这条消息将对医疗企业股价造成极大影响的情况下，你是否可以在消息公布之前买卖这些公司的股票？
