I’m reading about how “Big Pharma” and “Big Insurance” lobbyists are working hard to gut the “public option” in any healthcare bill, thereby preserving their gluttonous gorging of you and me via over-medicating and over-charging. What I’m not hearing is how a public health insurance option would free millions of US workers currently working in corporations largely because they need the benefits. I believe a huge wave of entrepreneurial productivity would crest in our economy if these anchors were severed, not to mention the benefit to the businesses themselves from a reduction in their healthcare costs. Isn’t the legacy of healthcare costs one of the financial big drags that helped GM spiral into bankruptcy? And speaking of bankruptcies, a recent report suggests 2/3 of all personal ones are due to healthcare costs…

Would you consider a career change if maintaining your personal or family healthcare benefits were of no concern?
