Along with that might have to be a government subsidy in order to keep our small businesses competitive with foreign firms.
Isn't something like that already in HR 3200?

So "we, the people" tax the American public to government-subsidize American businesses so they can compete in the American marketplace against foreign socialist competition given "most favored trade partner" status by the government?
That just shows the problem is not "health care," but an obscene economic situation where the government is screwing American companies under the guise of of a foreign policy built on
"peace through prosperity" elsewhere, and we'll just suck it in here.
In the end, "we, the people" just borrow money from China who is making money by flooding the US market with goods made under sweat-shop conditions and slave wages, and these Chinese goods are undercutting American companies in the same business, and then "We, the people" give the borrowed money to US companies as a subsidy for additional government-required business overhead costs which further distance the companies' ability to compete in the domestic market.
Again, we never seem to want to find the root-cause problem and fix that. Instead, we go after the ancillary problems with band-aids (often expensive ones), and things never ever get better, because the root-cause problem coninues to fester.
