I work for a rather large ERP and retail software company and the ACA costs were described as such a small contributor to the total increase that it was really barely worth mentioning. From the presentation: -Aging population and increased average lifespan -Technology improvements and the cost associated with treating complex conditions -Rise of complex biologic medications pushing Rx spend upward -Health industry consolidation increased 50% in past few years (e.g. hospital mergers) as fewer markets compete for patients -Health Care Reform – additional coverage requirements; Patient Centered Outcomes Research fees (2013 & 2014) and Transition Reinsurance fees (2014-2016) paid by Epicor. Now, what many companies are doing is using this as an opportunity to push you off onto the exchanges, since the cost savings to the company would be immense. Companies may publicly say they hate the ACA, but behind closed doors, they love it.

The scientific development of nuclear weapons and nuclear energy. Transit to the moon. CERN. A system of public freeways spanning our continent. Hoover dam. National and global weather forecasting apparatus. US Geological Survey. National parks. China's One Child Policy, which despite some negative collateral effects, helped alleviate uncontrollable overpopulation in an already overpopulated region, contributing to the prevention of 200-400 million births. Chinese currency/economic manipulation that is systematically destroying the unprotected American middle class. But then, most countries don't have a centuries-long streak of an obstructionist, dumbfuck, anti-gov GOP undermining the efficacy of the government. | |||

And the second one is just plain stupid. Do you really believe what you just said? China is preparing to allow its currency to appreciate, in preparation for delinking from the USD entirely. If your theory is true, we should see fantastic times ahead for the American middle class. Instead, this is the beginning of the end. | |||
