30. It isn't big corporations that would benefit from this but
the small businesses. Big corporations don't give all their employees good health insurance coverage and many have to pay for half of the coverage out of their wages. Only their top level employees enjoy really comprehensive health coverage. They also are in a position to barter for better rates on account of volume, which small businesses can't do.

Also, many mega corporations have insurance and health plans as part of their family of companies, so they would be the least to want non-privatization. Now with the outsourcing phenomena, many countries they outsource to have national health care already so it saves them a pile of money they would have to spend on their American employees.
