Hospitals tore out of the gate Monday, leading a broad market advance after Congress approved a sweeping health care bill. Eight of 11 hospital stocks climbed as a couple of small, low-priced stocks led the gains: Sunlink Health Systems (SSY) jumped 38%. Dynacq Healthcare (DYII) popped 9%. But Tenet Healthcare (THC), the group's second-largest player by revenue, took an 8% gain in heavy trading. Health Management Associates (HMA) vaulted 11%.
