Toyota does have lower healthcare cost, due to very expensive programs set
up by Unions in the 80's, and the age of their employees.

Delmar's in the outhouse for now.

Are you saying that Toyota has no health care costs? Or, that they're
vastly different from those of GM, Ford, etc? If they're different, why is
that so?

Doug,
Is it silly to believe paying for bills from your left pocket (ie paying
for health care directly) or paying for healthcare from your right pocket
(ie paying for healthcare through increase in taxes) will lower your cost
per unit?

Doug,

Since the big 3 and their subsidiaries manufacture cars in Mexico,
Canada, Europe and Asia isn't your statement true for American Auto
Makers.

Do you honestly believe the solution to the higher cost for auto makers
is national health care? National Health Care might be a very viable
solution for Americans, but transferring the payments for health care
from one pocket to another pocket, will not make the cars cost any
less.

NYOB,

Can you believe Harry thinks the US Toyota employees have national
healthcare? I wonder if they have to go to Tokyo for a doctor
visit?

Did you see the movie "Gung-ho" with Michael Keaton? They have
mandatory fitness breaks. That's how they stay so damn healthy.





This is fascinating. You simpies believe there is no relationship
between Toyota's prices and profits on what it assembles here and
its manufacturing costs in Japan, which are subsidized in many ways
by the government there?

Toyota's workers here are covered by insurance Toyota provides here,
but that doesn't mean its profitability on what it "builds" here is
not impacted by its operations in Japan.

That's just plain dumb. My neighbor Delmar sez compnes in other
countrys aint sposed ta trade spit wit their branches here. It's like
a rule or sumthin.
