Reply #67: Business will be on board sooner than later

[no name no slogan]

IMHO, we'll reach critical mass on this issue when business raises its voice about how much they have to pay for medical coverage for their workers. And that's already started to happen.

Currently we spend 13% of our annual GDP on healthcare-- more than any other industrialized nation. Under the Kucinich plan, our cost would be reduced to 7-8% of annual GDP.

In other words, it makes better fiscal sense to have a universal, single-payer system that covers EVERYONE-- not 90%, or 98%, but EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF WHO THEY ARE. Trying to fix our current system is like putting a band-aid on a severed limb-- it's too little to late.
