After a record close yesterday for all three major avenues, any gains today would mean records once again. We are watching the fallout from that executive order on health care that the president just signed and we are seeing a mixed impact. You are some of the hospitals. Here are some of the hospitals.

Good thursday morning, welcome to squawk alley. Carl quintanilla with john fortt, sara eisen, and Business Insider editor in chief henry blodget, guys, good morning to everybody.
