After 30 yrs. of whining about the cost of an employment based healthcare insurance system, why [View All]

is the business community on the side of big pharma and the insurance corporations? Why do we not hear from employers? AND how do we confront Rs about the dissonance of railing against the cost of doing business due to legacy health care benefit costs while seeking to maintain the status quo?

I don't get how we keep ignoring this, and why we are not better able to exploit this better. I don't understand what is to be gained by business remaining silent on this issue and us not confronting the advocates for the "free" market system the Rs are proposing. The latter point can be argued by pointing to how successful the "free" market has been able to put the thumb on the scale and demand bailouts with a gun to the taxpayers' heads. WHY are we not hammering on this?
