Framing the Universal Healthcare Debate: "Let Business do Business"
Why should businesses be burdened with finding healthcare for their workers? Think about it. It makes little sense that company X who are expert in making/delivering a product completely unrelated to insurance has to navigate a minefield any time they would need to renegotiate a contract.

Universal healthcare would free companies to do business.


Take, as a simple example, Ford and GM. While they get demonized in the press, they are burdened with HUGE medical debts from their former employees. Eliminating that alone would make them highly competitive in the marketplace. And that, is ultimately good for America...


We have to start framing the debate along these lines to begin pulling-in Repugs, Indys and Liberarians over to our side.

Michael Moore showed people that the system is broken. IT's up to us to convince people how the problem should be fixed.
