Re: GMs biggest problem is health care costs

If GM still had 60% of the US market, its health care costs would be a nonissue.

OT, RE: GM and healthcare costs

GM loves to cry about how it isn't a level landscape with healthcare costs, but the differences really aren't that extreme. Yes, other foreign carmakers do often get away without having to provide some of the healthcare benefits that GM does, but this is almost always offset by lower taxes that GM pays vs its foreign peers such as Toyota.

There is no poorer healthcare system than the US

That's not just an inaccurate statement its a silly one.
