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"
