HiddenLevers Market update
Market Update Europe Stalling Russia/Ukraine Everything Bubble ISIS Rising / Oil Falling sources: HiddenLevers, NPR, ABC, FXEmpire, WSJ, Reuters

HiddenLevers Obamacare – Scenarios
Costs Contained via ACA Health Care Inflation = under 2% Lower cost growth boosts other sectors -> + GDP Growth Insurance access and lower costs reduces home foreclosures Healthcare IT spending keeps rising sharply Inflation stays low since a key driver is in check source: HiddenLevers, CBO
BAD: Costs Contained Despite ACA Health Care Inflation = 2% Both GOP and Dems will keep ACA cost cuts ACA insurance expansion could fail if GOP unwinds it Markets not impacted if costs held in check Mild GDP impact if health care policy in disarray source: HiddenLevers
UGLY: Runaway Costs Health Care Inflation = around 4% double digit rise in insurance premiums Medicare solvent until 2030 insurance pools are old + sick people Medical bills and bankruptcy drive correction Healthcare costs reduce S+P earnings sources: HiddenLevers, Forbes,
Scenario: Obamacare • Good • Costs Contained via ACA • Neutral/Bad • Costs Contained Despite ACA • Ugly • Runaway Costs If the ACA achieves its goals, healthcare inflation will decline, boosting growth in other sectors. If healthcare costs remain low despite other failings in the ACA, markets will be relatively un-impacted. Runaway healthcare costs would hit both corporate and govt. budgets, leading to a drop in GDP growth and harder times for healthcare consumers.
