2 Top Healthcare Stocks to Buy for the Long Haul

When the legendary chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett, writes his letter to shareholders each year, the investment world often stops to glean a few lessons from the Oracle of Omaha. Considering Buffett's track record of success, I can't fault investors for poring over his words.

One of the most memorable messages came in his 1996 Chairman's Letter, in which Buffett advised, "If you aren't willing to own a stock for ten years, don't even think about owning it for ten minutes." The advice is 25 years old but timeless. And everyone can benefit from the reminder to focus on buying stocks for the long term to ensure that they select only the highest-quality stocks.

Two healthcare stocks that investors can confidently buy for the long haul are Stryker (NYSE: SYK) and CVS Health (NYSE: CVS). Let's see why.
