The recession of the Carter years and early Reagan years ended because
of new computer technologies creating opportunities for start-up
businesses. We need something similar today. When I talk to people
about starting their own businesses, many of them do not do it because
of the cost of health care. I have an employee who desperately wants
to work for himself but he will not because his wife is in poor
health. Solve this problem and small businesses will greatly
increase.

You think government health care will help? Look North, we have government
health care and people don't start real businesses here because of the
taxes, red tape and government interference. Then you get union issues too.
But also, lets skip the lineups for basic care, we often can send pregnent
women to the US because of bed shortages as babies don't and can't wait like
cysts, cancer, cateracts and the like.

Oh, we have lots of placeholder businesses, they are individuals with no
employees setting up corporations as to duck the tax load that you get. But
real employee based, we are far smaller in numbers per capita than the USA.

The promise of health care is coming at a cost of your economic freedom.
Take any country that has government sponsored health care and take your
income and fill out their tax forms to find out what it costs, don't take my
word for it.
