@DutchRojas We are now seeing the effects of the ACA because the government hid the true costs, huge increased costs, with subsidies, all the while trying to convince the people that it's great. The ACA was never a stepping stone to single payer healthcare, it was a hand out to industry.
@BjornLomborg Does the EU build more efficient homes that don't need AC? I know here in the US we build large/huge thin walled homes pointed right at the afternoon sun, terrible efficiency and designs.
@MatthewWielicki Maybe the highest temperature is not what we should be looking at, a single weather day each year versus monthly or annually averages, I will take more data.
@DarrigoMelanie You are now seeing behind the scenes of the ACA. Well hidden behind the government subsidizing the ACA was the greatest expansion of profits for health insurance companies. Look up their profits along the ACA timeline.
@skumWgmi Minimum wage does not equal today's salaries. Federal minimum wage is insignificant in most states as they have higher standards. Ignore federal minimum wage, it's an old meaningless value.
