The companies can't get enough credit to last more than a few months, while implementing true universal health care (whether single-payer or not) would take several years to fully implement, as would modification of union contracts to take it into account. Even if healthcare is the solution, there would have to be something now to keep them afloat in the meantime. I get that. However, if healthcare is a legit solution, then it is defensible to extend the loan whilst working out healthcare. My main worry with this whole thing is that they will get their loan, limp along for another year or two and then fail anyway.
