Michael, > If i am launching a new business i dont want to be responsible for health care for employees. If I'm running a profitable business I don't want to be responsible for the health care of every fly-by-night new business out there. Don't you get it? Someone will have to pay for it all. This is not capitalism. This is socialism any way you slice it. Tenchusatsu

Michael, If i am launching a new business i dont want to be responsible for health care for employees. If i am a citizen i dont want to worry about losing health bennys every time i switch jobs or get laid off. Just like old Detroit doesnt work now, either does our formerly very creative health care model. Only way to go is universal if capitalism is going to make it. We cant afford not to have health care in this country from cradle to grave. End of story. One thing you need to realize first that health care is a ticking time bomb that dwarfs the credit melt-down by several orders of magnitude. Health care, as is has deep, deep problems. Transition to Universal Healthcare just institutionalizes the current problems and make it impossible to have 1000s of experiments that find solutions, and adopting the ones that works. Joe
