April 21, 2005one payer bingowanta build a car ? even canada is better why? socialized medicine =================================
read this ....
"....GM, along with competitors
Ford and Chrysler
have been shifting production
out of Michigan
and across the Detroit River
into Ontario
as fast as they can.....
The reason is health care costs....
"....health costs currently account for $1500
of the cost of production
of every vehicle made in the U.S
In Canada
the figure is only a small fraction of that"
" in Canada theres a single payer system
its like our "Medicare
but for every one "
big ameri - corp's present
public line :
"GM thinks there has
to be
closer cooperation between
the government
and the private sector
on health costs "
since
"Health care costs
currently averaging $6800
per worker in America"
but then .....
" The notion of having
the federal government
take over an industry
that represents
about 15 percent
of the U.S. economy
in one gulp
gives U.S. executives the willies"
but the tower boyz
are
secretly resigned
to the inevitable ....after all kids
"... the federal government
already runs
defense and law enforcement
so why not healthcare?"
big business's strategy ....
" sneak a single-payer system
in a little bit at a time
first step
a federal takeover
of catastrophic coverage."
the case is too clear ....
"Back in 1970
a year before Canada
switched from an employer-based
insurance company-administered
health system
just like that
in the United States
to a national
single-payer model
both countries were devoting
about 7 percent
of GDP to health care
Today 35 years later
Canada devotes
9 % of GDP
to health care
while the United States
devotes
15 %
Meanwhile, Canada covers all of its citizens"
