Ready to eat some crow regarding housing bottoms? And did I post to you the Forbes article that predicted Mobile to be the sixth best metro area for job growth this coming year in the US? Jun 16, 2009, 8:30 a.m. EST U.S. May housing starts jump 17.2% to 532,000 rate By Rex Nutting WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. housing starts bounced back with a vengeance in May, rising 17.2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 532,000 after plunging 12.9% in April to a postwar low, the Commerce Department estimated Tuesday. The surprising increase was led by a 62% gain in new construction of multifamily dwellings. Starts of single-family homes rose 7.5% to a 401,000 rate, the highest since November. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch expected an increase to 485,000. Building permits rose 4% in May to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 518,000. Permits for single-family homes rose 7.9% to a 408,000 annual rate, the highest since November.

Forcing people without health insurance, or even people with insurance and high deductibles to CHOOSE to avoid treatment until it is unavoidable, and often much more expensive.Forcing people without health insurance, or even people with insurance and high deductibles to CHOOSE to avoid treatment until it is unavoidable, and often much more expensive. How do you explain the millions -- perhaps half -- of the so-called "uninsured" who have access to Medicaid yet refuse to go to the local Medicaid office and get their Medicaid cards? Or the even more millions who qualify for annual physicals who refuse to get them? The reality is a lot of people choose to avoid treatment because they don't WANT treatment.
