Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Keith Speights]

  If we were to draw two columns -- one for winners from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or PPACA, and another for losers -- the word "hospitals" would probably be listed near the top in the winner's column. Large hospital chains Health Management Association (NYSE: HMA  ) and Tenet Healthcare (NYSE: THC  ) , have seen their stocks more than double over the past year, while Community Health Systems (NYSE: CYH  ) is up around 75%.

• [By Dan Caplinger]

  In Community Health's report, watch for signs of the same pressures that Health Management Associates (NYSE: HMA  ) reported in cutting its 2013 outlook earlier this month. HMA pointed to weak ! inpatient services demand, and if that trend holds across the industry, it could pose another obstacle for Community Health to overcome in trying to grow earnings.
