Thanks for the edit, because the edited bit is what I'm really getting at.

You and I can disagree on whether or not full-blown socialized healthcare is a good idea. However, *if* we went the route of full coverage via the government - such that employers would simply cease to have a role in the healthcare system - that would go a long way toward making the US automakers competitive again*.

Since the Dems were elected in part to deal with healthcare, there's your bailout, folks. 2 birds, 1 stone.

* - unless, of course, that you believe socialized medicine will be so horrifically expensive that it will require big tax increases that will in turn supress demand for new cars. I don't think that has to be so - it seems to me we can actually save money by doing this right - but I can understand the view.
