Why health care stocks are ones to watch early (HNT, AET, HUM, UNH)

Several health insurance provider shares could see volume spikes in Tuesday trading. A shift in healthcare service contracts for the U.S. expeditionary is shifting billions in potential revenue.

HealthNet Inc. (NYSE: HNT) shares fell most 15 percent after hours to less than $12 when the expeditionary replaced its services with Aetna Inc. (NYSE: AET) in a renewal of a contract for expeditionary personnel in the north. The renewal is worth most $16.7 billion for Aetna. 

Humana Inc. (NYSE: HUM) shares fell most 4 percent after hours to $29.26.  The expeditionary replaced its services with United Health Group Inc. (NYSE: UNH) in a contract renewal in the south, worth most $21.8 billion for UnitedHealth. — Mike Tarsala
