Biotech beatdown: 2 trades

The "Fast Money" traders looked for opportunities in the health care sector, which fell about 1.8 percent Thursday, tipping it into the red for the year.

Yesterday, Hillary Clinton laid out her vision for health care in America and how she would deal with rising costs of prescription drugs. Part of her plan would include allowing Medicare "to directly negotiate for better prices." The key biotechnology ETF fell more than 3 percent on Thursday.

Trader Tim Seymour said that "regulatory targeting" will continue to "plague" stocks like Mylan, which has come under fire for rapid price hikes of its EpiPen. He said he would not go near Mylan.

Trader Guy Adami admitted he was wrong about Mylan when he previously stated that the worst was behind the stock.
