Already small and mid business employees hurt hugely by Obamacare because of added costs to insurance companies. They didn't get to keep their doctors or their plans, and their premiums have been jacked up.

In 2016 things will get even worse, especially as the assumed number of healthy young people to float Obamacare of course aren't and won't be there.

So the answer to your question is, you are.

That's the point, they talked of single payer and robust public option, but instead delivered....what? another layer to insurance, healthcare chain and big insurance cycle? And claimed it would be payed for by a certain quota of young people signing up, which hasn't happened either (so the thing will not sustain itself).

I laugh at people who somehow imagined this would be a European style socialized medicine, ha as if!

You seem to have no idea how reality works; instead of misconceptions you make up from you pure "book learning", in reality a lump of uranium is primarily an alpha emitter. Look it up and educate yourself. People who have worked at national labs and nuke plants, ie. me, know this. Meanwhile, you prattle on making assumptions based on half-understood freshman classes.

Wrong, you've totally confused yourself ignorning half-lives. There is a delay before the betas come out after an alpha is released, three betas DON'T imediately spring out, instead the "principal daughter" thorium-234 has a half-lift of over three weeks before beta comes out!

"Uranium and its decay products primarily emit alpha radiation, however, lower levels of both beta and gamma radiation are also emitted. "
