FT - exactly. That's why we need universal health insurance for everyone in the US. All other countries do it - we can too - and we can do it better, since we spend more dollars than anyone else here. Maybe when business sees that it is in THEIR interest to have this, they will get behind it. Right now, the incentives are to cut jobs - and we have about 43 million uninsured in this country. We are told there is no money to pay for a program like this. But, we have an administration paying $ 1 billion a week to stay and rebuild Iraq - and - they are attempting the biggest government welfare giveaway in US History: the permanent removal of estate taxes - which will transfer trillions of dollars to the rich in the next 20-50 years and beyond. 99% of people would pay zero estate tax now. This is being allowed, because politicians think the American people are stupid, and because frankly most people don't take the time to read and understand what their own govt. is proposing. Those trillions can go either to: * The rich OR * They can be used to provide basic healthcare, housing, and education for the other 99%. The choice is ours. And - tax credits could be given to KEEP jobs. Jobs programs to rebuild infrastructure that is decaying could kick in when we have slumps like this also. All I can say, is that we all have to wake up - and VOTE. >> If it wasn't so expensive to cover employees then companies wouldn't be so hesitant to hire someone. They would have the money to do so.
