&a;ldquo;We were surprised by the magnitude of the findings,&a;rdquo; said Dr. Zia Agha, chief medical officer at the West Health Institute, a nonprofit applied medical research organization based in San Diego. &a;ldquo;And 80% of the people we surveyed had health insurance, so just having insurance does not make you immune to health care costs.&a;rdquo;

Management has been confident enough in its outlook for the year that it has initiated both a dividend and a share repurchase program in the past six months. What's more, the iron ore industry could be headed for a bit of a supply crunch that could significantly boost the prices for Cleveland-Cliffs higher-quality iron ore pellets.

    Has there ever been a more surprising turnaround story than Cleveland-Cliffs (NYSE:CLF)?

    Once a bifurcated coal and iron miner known as Cliffs Natural Resources, folks began writing Cleveland-Cliffs' obituary in 2012 after President Obama was elected to his second term -- an apparent death knell to anyone involved in the coal industry. Three years later, the predictions seemed to be coming true, and analysts opined about whether Cleveland-Cliffs could even survive to the end of Obama's term. Within only a few short months, the stock would bottom out. But fast-forward a few years years, and what do we see today?
