Big Business' health care problem

I'll echo Atrios' comments on this. Universal health care is inevitable, regardless of when the political climate is ripe for it. With costs rising year after year, more middle class households and small business owners are being priced out of the system. As more large compaines like General Motors begin to see the writing on the wall, it becomes clear that the need for reform is there.

In late 2003, polls done by CNN/USA Today/Gallup and ABC News/Washington Post showed by a 2-1 margin, 62% to 32%, Americans would prefer a government run health care system that provides universal health care instead of the current employer-based system. The opponents of true health care reform are out of touch with the demands and needs of the public on this issue.
