Wait, I'm wrong and if I want to find out go ask someone else?
It might not be perfect for everyone everywhere, but overall demand is certainly up. The challenge many companies have is finding the right skills in the right location.

he doesn't care about the facts, he just likes to bloviate.....
had to include this definition from the Urban Dictionary because it freakin' hilaroious and perfect
bloviate
To discourse at length in a pompous or boastful manner.
A key attribute to those that sell. To pretend to understand technical subject matter and sell it to others even dumber then oneself.
the problem is a lack of those "even dumber then oneself" for him to sell to

All due to the falling value of the dollar.
Am I for this idealistically? No... But realistically, the average American working an average job has been priced out of the American dream. This can help so many. And who's to say that the money they save won't be spent on other goods and boost the economy somehow.

What is the alternative? And where has the alternative ever worked?
Why is the money deflated?
I'm actually in favor of universal healthcare but WE CAN'T AFFORD IT.

I'm in favor of Healthcare for the 30 million that don't have it. But to change the health care of 300 million citizens for the sake of 30 million is stupid, unless of course your a Socialist.
And no, we can't afford Obamacare. Projections show healthcare costs
will increase 5.8% annually through 2022 which will be 1% faster annually
than our projected economic growth. The CBO upped projected costs again last week.
A special program for the 30 million without insurance, including Tort Reform and
allowing Interstate Insurance would be a way to go rather than upset the whole apple cart.
A 100% change for 30% defies common sense. With all the so called "Brilliance"
of this Administration,it should certainly be able come up with a better more affordable plan
for those who don't have healthcare.

How much has it been rising at present? Same, more, less?
How is it we spend so much more per capita than other developed natoons?
Last # I saw was 49 mil from Atnea, 2011 number....

When we annually spend 600billion to 1 trillion more dollars than we take in receipts - yes, we can't afford it.

The irony is that I believe we spend about twice what other industrialized nations spend on health care...but we can't afford it.

but John, but John....what about all of the women and children dying in the streets because they've been turned away from hospitals because they could not afford unaffordable healthcare????? surely we can afford it?????
sure we can....."YES WE CAN".....haven't you heard that increasing our debt ceiling and exploding our spending isn't really spending more money or increasing our debt (it's actually the path out of debt), it's simply paying for promises and money that we've already spent and we've already promised OBAMACARE and we're not a Banana Republic(though there are a lot of similarities currently) and we aren't deadbeats and we pay our bills or at least borrow more money to pay our bills....we need to expect to spend or need to spend whatever we have to spend to keep people moderately happy and crooks in office regardless of their actual needs, whatever figure you ascribe to healthcare cost is going to be spent by "WE" anyway right?.... so it makes much more sense to have the government provide it for everyone and do whatever it deems necessary to either pay for it, promise to pay for it or claim or arrange to pay for it at some undetermined point in the future at the same time constantly referring to it as "affordable" like everything else that they currently "pay" for....
just raise the OBAMACARE CEILING, which I believe has already been raised several times and significantly, just keep raising.....who cares???
everything appears "affordable" when you don't have a budget...or a conscience
