GM is becoming a candidate for bankruptcy. One of the big overhanging problems being named: healthcare costs.

The decades of double digit inflation in healthcare costs are taking their toll. They are finally reaching the point of making our nation *uncompetitive.*

I'm not as enamored of a fully "Free" system. Sharing the cost is probably best, but also making sure there is full coverage (not simply "free" coverage.) I would like to see a *uniform* system nationally, and some direct effective methods of controlling cost. There is a quite a bit in the way of overhead that could be completely eliminated in this manner.

I don't think true nationalization is necessary...although it would beat the current course we are on. The current course WILL lead to higher taxes, as well as a decreasingly competitive economy.
