@giujohn,
Do you expect someone like farmerman with the in-depth knowledge of paleontology to also read the in-depth evidence of what you are trying to share? Drunk Shocked Rolling Eyes 2 Cents

Ok, I see what you guys are doing. So despite the fact that the average amount that employees need to contribute toward their health care has increased more than 134 percent over the past decade, you see the actual cost of insurance not increasing as much as a good thing. Got it.

Ever time you start to lose an argument, you move the goalposts.

First it was show that the ACA has slowed the rate at which premiums increase.

Now it's show how the ACA didn't wipe out rate increases that happened before it was enacted....


You have a lot in common with your buddy Trump. You both act like children. If someone came to your desk and handed you an Oreo, you'd bitch and whine that it wasn't chocolate chip.

@DrewDad,
Lose an argument? Me? Never happens.

I misunderstood what point was attempting to be made. See, I thought that it was being presented as people that pay for health insurance were paying less for care after the ACA was implemented when all that was really being presented was how shitty health insurance plans have become since implementing the ACA.

Big difference.

The argument that insurance costs have gone up since the ACA as a direct result of the ACA is a BS argument. Insurance costs rose at a faster rate before the ACA.


I won't hold my breath, but if you have some evidence of that to share with the class, that would be great.

So you're either a) moving the goalposts as I said or b) not even bothering to pay attention to the conversion, or the data that you expressed an interest in.

Meh. You've reached Lash levels of idiocy and mendacity.

@McGentrix,
If the health plans were shitty after the ACA then they were shitty before it. The majority of the increases in employee costs occurred before the ACA was passed and even more occurred before the ACA was implemented.

From 2005 to 2011 the employee costs went up by about 10% per year and went up 72% over that time period
From 2011 to 2015 the employee costs went up about 8% per year and 36% over the time period.

No one has claimed they pay less in actual dollars than before. The claim has been that the increases in costs have been reduced. But the opponents of the ACA prefer to build straw men when it comes to claiming it is bad. They never seem to argue about the actual facts.

You have those facts and you got them from somewhere, just post the link. You can do conjecture linkless all day long and we can have a great conversation about it but when you post "facts", follow with a link.

@parados,
For example, in 2006 I had a great insurance plan (You can keep your plan, you can keep your doctor.) and I paid a monthly amount ($250/mth) and my employer paid the bulk amount. That year when negotiations opened up, that plan was no longer available. (I couldn't keep my plan.)

Instead of my nice plan that I paid a little each month for, I now had a high deductible ($7200/year + $300/mth) and my monthly charge increased. I was able to keep my Dr. because it was still Blue Cross.

So, every paycheck I give a little "**** you Obama" when I see that I am making less and paying more. We still have the same crappy health insurance.

@McGentrix,
Blame your employer.

My company threatened to force those high deductible plans on us, too. They backed down, though, when they started having trouble recruiting folks.

My previous company kept hiking the rates on us. Every year they'd try to renegotiate, and every year we kept paying more. They were much smaller than my current employer, though, and their profit and revenue per employee was much lower, too. This was a major factor in finding a new employer.

Nowadays, I could probably do better on the exchange than what my old employer could offer.

I think you can do the math. It's simple compounding interest.

@reasoning logic,
actually my "in depth" knowledge is within the perview of the clip tht Gooey posted. I suggest you undertqnd 2 things

1Uranium ore is about s common as ZINC in the earth' crust. Every state could be a overall UO and UF6 salt producer(If they had beneficiation equip and reaction means to produce UF6) (Sandstone (Carnotite) deposits are all over NM, Utah, QWyo, Colo, etc0 Some of the biggest deposits of phosphate sandstone deposits are actually in Florida.

2.FINSA, which updates a resource sales to foreign entities reg of 57 , was set up by the GW Bush admin in 2007. It provides review by a committee set up within Treasury, Homeland Security, and oversight by Congress.

PSST, we buy and sell oil and gas also.

The "mine" in Wyo, is actually an estimated reserve prospect. Any actual "mining" is done to sefine reserves in comliqnce with existing Fed reg and reserve estimates .
(Theres a difference).

If it ever cm to heated up relations between us and Russia, you dont think we would not nationalize all such reserves?? (Hint; its in our country, not theirs, duhh).

Like most other horse-**** you guys masturbate over, resource sales are a business decision. FINSA provides the actual percentage of our projected needed resource we may sell to anyone who wants to buy (within certain limits ,like N Korea).( I think its 20% or under)
Weve even dialed back our restrictions on amts of reactor fuel we sell to Iran.(or percentage reactor grade HF6).
The world is NOT resource limited re: Uranium, (and bomb fuel Pu is a product of U decay), it is mostly limited by technology . We hve some of the top means to beneficiate U lts for bomb mfg, while Russia still uses steam . THATS what we want to control)

@farmerman,
The smart money has for several years now been put down on lithium futures.
The price for Li (In use mostly as Oxide or as Carbonate) has spiked to over 8 dollars a pound on the spot market. Li/Ti/ REE's have been big commodity projects for me since the late 80's,

@farmerman,
Well thank you very much for the lesson in investing but as usual given your pedanticism you miss the point. Let me restate it is it seems to be lost in the minutiae of your rather boring post about the geological aspect of uranium ore.
It's all about the shady nexus between the clintons and her campaign manager John podesta with Vladimir Putin and the ongoing play for pay saga especially in light of Hillary's false accusations about Trump and Putin being best buddies and some false narrative about backroom dealings to give Trump an advantage in the election.

@giujohn,
I understand your inabilities in abstract thought so I had to make as many connections so youd see what FINSA was all about and how, if you really are incensed about selling Uranium ORE (from mines that are mere prospects), youd have been informed when it was being played with in Congress (as a mod to earlier laws).

NOOO, sometimes full facts do get in the way of a "ripping right wing yarn"

As I say, U is as common as Zinc and is used for everything from bombs to pottery. you can buy U ore from Amazon.
So, if its a point ya want to make, Pardon me if I insert a jot of how resource economics actually work.

Are you gtting all steamed about us selling our meager Li resources from Nevada or N Carolina?
