The events that occurred starting September 15th have changed the way that all Americans are going to do business. Investors have essentially lost confidence in investment banking causing a large and historic change in the way that Wall Street is going to do business. Before the happenings of last week occurred Investment Banking firms such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley did business relied on risky investments, acquisitions, mergers, and deals to produce large revenue and spark interest causing investors to have great confidence in these companies. However, now everything has changes these investment-banking firms have restructured and have asked congress to allow them to transform into bank holding companies. Bank holding companies essentially require stricter regulation from the Federal Reserve. A Bank holding company looks more like commercial banks that require less risky investments and more regulation. In effect this decision, ?effectively returns Wall Street to the way it was structured before Congress passed a law during the Great Depression separating investment banking from commercial banking, known as the Glass-Steagall Act.?

This move is going to significantly affect all other types of large corporations and industries. Pharmaceutical companies are definitely going to be affected because they rely on capital funding from these types of corporations. These former investment banks sought out investors to fund these relatively risky drugs that may or may not be confirmed by the FDA. Since medical malpractice has been on the rise, insurance companies are also seeing negative effects from the turn of events last week. Medical malpractice will now pose a greater threat to both insurance companies and medical professional alike because they are not being backed by large insurance giants as they formerly were. An occurrence of medical malpractice now has the capability of completely destroying a doctor, pharmaceutical company, or medical institution. Even though companies like AIG are being backed by the government doesn't mean that settlements are going to be covered like they once were. The government is going to put up a bigger fight when claims of medical malpractice come in. This is going to negatively affect both victims of medical malpractice and those who have committed medical malpractice.
