Seems like the USA is the only industrialized country in the world without
national health care.

Given that GM has to sell cars in Europe whose prices contain health care costs
and, for instance, Volvo sells cars whose prices do not.... it seems like GM is
at a competitive disadvantage by virtue of having to pay for it's employees'
health care. (at least until they manage to move the last production facility to
Mexico...).

Given that - and the fact that people running big businesses are both really
smart and interested in maximizing their competitive positions - it seems like
the fact that big business in the USA isn't pushing for national health care
suggests that I am missing something.   But what?
