The reason I ask is because of the prices, the way I figured was I can see a price of $150 a pill for heart medication if we have to import it from one of the moons of Jupiter.

The reason I bring this up is because I met a human last night who just got out of the hospital from a bypass surgery. This was an average hard working human whose insurance from the employer had been switched and all benefits where on hold, only temporarily. However, there was no coverage at present, just a promise of re-imbursement. So, there was some heart medications, one called nitro something that is relatively cheap so he as able to fill it, but the more vital medication was $150 a pill, and impossible to finance. So basically if you do not have coverage, you are F****d! I have multiple experiences to confirm this, and there are millions more out there.

Hear me out.. i know you've been told that the economy is doing the "best ever" but ..
the US savings rate is in the negatives, meaning we are spending more that me are making, it hasn't been in the negatives since the Great Depression.
Forclosure rates are up 42% from the previous year.
The cost for natural gas and electricity have increase 25 - 50% in the last 7 years....

are these indicators?

I know that weekly new unemployment claims is a way of determining the ecomony, but are the people who's been on unemployment for months or whose benifits run out and are still unemployed counted in these numbers?
