50. That is wonderful news and i predict that it will get better.

Having put the medical industry on a budget will get their collective boot off of the throat of the Nation's GDP.
Inflation should be more manageable.
Yes,come one,come all naysayers,i went out on that dreaded proverbial limb.

For the first time in a long i time,i have some optimism.
Health care will be affordable not just for the in between people but the young and the working poor and previous to the ACA something like 70% of the GDP was set to be gobbled up by the healthcare industry by 2050. No more.

The tables seem to be shifting on the GOP and their Shithead CEO pedantry.
People are waking up finally that they only care about their good ol' boy club and who wish a slow and painful death to those over the unproductive age of forty,or minorities who seem to feel that they should have the same level of benefits and recompense for the jobs they do.
Meanwhile the fiscal conservatives and blue dogs are still on the center stage crowing about de-regulated fair market values(now there are very low metrics on the descriptions of the word monopoly)and record corporate profits and record CEO compensatory packages as if they invented the concepts all by themselves.

I feel optimism that David might finally slay that giant.
Electric cars sales are approaching .10% of the market at unattractive prices with few places to charge outside of the home.
Sustainable energy is finally making a dent in the fossil fuels and nuclear power stranglehold some 40 years after the original earth day.
If the country utilized 100% renewable energy resources(going by 2007 import figures for imported oil)we would stop hemorrhaging 450 billion dollars per year to antagonistic regimes in the breeding grounds for people who would like to destroy us and our way of life.

I left a good job about 13 years ago and went to work for a local school district because my kids needed health insurance,i was terrified every time that they went out to play.
Now it looks like i will be able to leave in about seven years with a modest retirement and finally go to college and yes,i will get to take my healthcare with me to a better paying job with opportunities for advancement and hopefully start doing what i love to do instead of cleaning up children's vomit and swabbing stools all day.

Me? I am delighted to read your story,because i can understand where you come from.
I am delighted for everyone else who has had to hold the shitty end of the stick for so long to support the lollygaggers born to their lofty positions take months long vacation cruises,sailing in the oceans of sweat from our brows and the blood from our backs.
The trick has always been;how to turn that stick around?
