We're in basic agreement except I think that health care IS a major part of the economic woe. Since you brought up GM, they said that the UAW's contract, which did not allow for employee copays, was one of the major reasons the company went bankrupt. This may or may not be the truth and GM could have said no to the union if they wanted to hold the line but they did say it. So I would have to content that health care costs are a major talking point when it comes to economic recovery.
