So all the people that voted Obama in the primary because they liked his healthcare proposal (no mandate) better than Hillary's (yes mandate)... whoops!

I reside in Ann Arbor, Michigan. 

The good things about it are there is a broad based economy, everything available that anyone could ever want (jobs, schools, healthcare, entertainment, recreation, and best of all many of the communities are the safest in the nation, and perfect year round weater!)

However,  in the medical center 3 of the 5 largest hospitals just laid off workers and personally i believe the worst is yet to come since healthcare reimbursements are falling.

My name is Eric, I live in Addison TX, and I work in healthcare IT. 

Through no fault of their own, the 2nd hand smoker, especially in the days when airlines were allowing smoking, can develop and have been proven to have higher incidence of cancer.The "empirical cost" was not paid at all by the Tobacco companies and in fact, developed propaganda campaigns to mislead the public.After the mounting evidence reached a certain point, taxes on Cigarettes skyrocketed, for at least 2 reasons. 1) to discourage the use of cigarettes so you DON'T have an increase of getting cancer and 2) to help pay for some of the empirical costs associated with the healthcare costs.In the case of Investors following the OP's strategy is one that I have personally seen time and time again.

I currently have a full time job in the health care industry but I am quickly getting burnt out and struggling with a mediocre salary that barely surpasses my student loans.
