Businesses, large to small, are being crushed by ever rising healthcare costs. An efficient, effective nationwide health insurance would liberate our businesses, create new jobs, and help our economy grow. This commonsense reform would do more than tax cuts, bailouts, or energy policy to work us out of this recession.
Opposed to America's economic recovery are insurance companies, pharmaceuticals, and select doctors. They profit from the current system. And because they invested wisely with their lobbying dollars, they are the tail that wags the dog.
This isn't about tax payers vs business. This is about a few dozen very profitable businesses against the rest of the country.
