Kerry on the cover of BW online... business turning on Bush imho Talking Business With John Kerry The Democratic nominee-to-be lays out why he's the better bet for U.S. companies We had a tech boom. I believe we can have a tech boom again.... [But] Bob Rubin and a lot of smart people tell me the capital-gains differential [doesn't matter much]. When you're at [a capital-gains rate of] 20%, it doesn't deter you from making millions with a new idea. So you're not going to change investment patterns. How can you expand health-care eligibility and control costs? Let me tell you how: You're paying for very inefficient delivery of care [today].... I put together a set of principles. I want to have the marketplace work. I want people to have choice. I don't want Washington mandates. I don't want a new bureaucracy.... What we've done is create a huge incentive for business to say: "That makes so much sense that I'm buying in." In exchange for [companies] having an early health-and-wellness program [and] for [agreeing to] pass the savings along to their employees...we're going to pick up 75% of the cost of catastrophic care. That reduces their costs and makes them more competitive. yahoo.businessweek.com
