I would strongly urge Propeller-Heads to ignore the heading of this story and read the article. Frankly, I think the author took the wind out of his sails by trying to 'juice-up' the story with this headline.

It's a compelling story of Health Care in America.

Health Care in America is an International Disgrace.

In my opinion, the decrepit health care system we have is a DIRECT contributor to the demise of our Automobile Industry.

For what is GM today?

GM is the one of the LARGEST Health Care providers in the word.

What is Toyota today?

Toyota is one of the LARGEST CAR manufacturers in the world.

The broken health care system in our nation has put enormous burden on not just GM .... but on ALL American employers.

This burden has actually served as fuel for the downward spiral of our economy.

THAT'S how important Health Care Reform is to our nation and economy.

The ENORMOUS health care costs have been what has crippled our Auto Industry to stay competitive.

Here are some facts ....

- The Auto Industry's very own calculations have determined that Health Care costs add $1,525 to the price tag of each car.

- Toyota paid $1,400 LESS per vehicle on health care. Japan has one of the best health care systems in the world ... and it provides this as universal coverage.

In 2007, GM spent $4.6 BILLION on Health Care. That's more than it paid for STEEL!
.
We need to push aside the nay sayers, the 'Sky Is Falling' Freaks, and those who see Socialism in every Government action ... so that our nation can go 'toe to toe' ... in a fair fight ... with other industrialized nations. ....
