RW, > If the US had national health care insurance, the cost basis would change dramatically. Do you think the Japanese and Germans don't have other social benefits for their workers?

The Japanese government pays the health care costs of Toyota employees in Alabama?

The German government pays the health care costs of BMW employees in South Carolina?

Intel and Apple can't compete against Toshiba and Sony because the Japanese companies don't have to cover the cost of health care for its employees?

How does that apply to all of the foreign car factories located in the US? Seems to be a disconnect with the logic there.

No, American auto workers are receiving too much compared to other American workers.
