Nov 3, 2015, 10:37 AM

When I worked as a field supt for a residential light commercial insulation contractor two of the estimators/salesmen decided to take the half the employees and most of the customers/general contractors and start their own business.

I overheard the conversations several times. They had met with a lawyer over 100 miles away twice to set the paperwork up for the move. They'd retained an ex-company guy who had experience at my position to run the field and made credit arrangements with the suppliers. They also had promised some of the foremen raises to make the move.

One of the estimators was married to the sister of one of our company's owners. I was kinda stuck between ethics and life. I left one Friday evening with a real dilemma, lose my job after the company struck hard times and the owners took over my responsibilities or lose my job for ratting out the owner's B-N-L.

I've found myself in places so tight I couldn't find my penor several times. Stop whining and do your job.

the tiny cost of living increase you receive every year always accompanied by the increase in cost of health insurance. This year the insurance price increase is higher than the cost of living increase. So my raise will essentially mean a pay cut. (With all that said... it could be worse, so I guess I shouldn't complain.)

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

health care costs began rising rapidly waaaaaaay before


Nov 3, 2015, 11:48 AM

Obama was elected. Easy I guess to blame him, but the reality is that the issues driving the costs of healthcare are unrelated to the current POTUS and began well before he was seated.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


And he had the opportunity to curb some of that


Nov 3, 2015, 11:57 AM

by allowing/encouraging interstate private competition with health insurance, and through medical tort reform (hence lowering malpractice insurance premiums).

Not so oddly, none of that was touched with ARRA or the ACA.

Simply because of those two omissions that would have affected healthcare costs so much, one must realize that other agendas were the real reason of ACA.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I do not disagree with any of this but would add that


Nov 3, 2015, 12:28 PM

No other POTUS has done anything to combat the issue (costs rising at rates that are significantly outpacing inflation) either....so add Regan, Bush I, Clinton, and Bush II to the list.


*With respect to the highest growth areas that ALSO are the areas with the biggest expenditures: Hospital care, physician services, and prescriptions....the costs have been rising like MAD since about 1985.

Nov 3, 2015, 12:29 PM [ in reply to I guess that depends on who is doing the narative. ]

But blaming health care costs on Obamacare is simply incorrect.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I'm not going to lookup the cost history, but


Nov 3, 2015, 12:55 PM

with the millions that I've been responsible for spending on server/storage/application upgrades, and add in another how many ever million its been who aren't paying for it but now have healthcare, there's no way costs have gone down under Obama.

IOW..he's down nothing to lower costs, and only raised them.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

The point I'm making is this


Nov 3, 2015, 2:56 PM

And I think you are correct.

Sumbuddy else said costs were going up to Obamacare and blamed Obama. That part is false.

The costs have risin like crazy for the past 30 years. They've continued to do so under obammy, but not at a rate any higher than they did under bushbushreaganclinton.

Butt Bammy is an easy target I guess for the price of healthcare, just folk are misguided with where they place the blame.
