3 types of healthcare stocks poised for success in 2015

Companies that are helping the healthcare economy function as it evolves are solid investment opportunities, according to a recent report from TheStreet.

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has caused massive shifts in the industry's landscape, financially benefitting many companies, some of which will be attractively priced to investors, including:

1. Private healthcare exchange providers. As millions of consumers shop for health coverage, insurance companies and consulting networks that offer plans on private marketplaces will be great investment opportunities.

2. Technology platforms providing exchange infrastructure. Providers of cloud software and data analytics solutions will be in high demand since many insurers, consultants, brokers and employers are growing their infrastructures. To investors, that potential can mean big success in the market.

3. Companies with transactions that indicate financial potential. Mergers and acquisitions have been a huge factor in the healthcare industry as of late, many of which have the potential for rich premiums and immense growth in the market, according to the report.
