I hope you don't think we can continue to go down the same road for the next forty years. We will all be broke. Even your employer.

I have been advocating a responsible and cost beneficial response for years. The current debate about how soon to admit that government is planning to take over the entire healthcare sector is not a change we can live with.

We will all be broke. Even your employer.

Now there is the rub. Obamanomics has cost my company over 10% of its revenue and possibly closer to 20%. So pushing more Obamanomics is going to do what for making everybody financially healthier? I'll answer that for you. It will destroy business and businesses.

The destruction of businesses will mean less revenue for you too.

That's not the point. The point is whether the reform will make us more or less likely to be broke. Just because something's bad doesn't mean than alternative X is better. Some alternatives are worse than the status quo. Out of the frying pan and into the fire is not progress.
