Wow, CEO of Kelly Services Advocates for Single-payer system.

Was reading this article because it was on a page that another article was that was posted by a DUer.

The part that caught my eye:

LD: A lot of this fight is over Obamacare. Is the Affordable Care Act good for you, or would you also like to see it repealed?
CC: Kelly, in 2007, along with the SEIU and Wal-Mart, started a campaign called Better Healthcare Together, to try to push forward the debate that ultimately led to the Affordable Care Act. We needed health-care opportunities for the new style of American workers. We're the one country in the OECD -- in every other country, health-care insurance comes as a function of being a citizen, or not tied to an employer. A better solution would've been single payer. But to the extent that the exchanges work, that other aspects of the program work, including bending down the cost curve, it will make it easier for temporary workers to overcome the discrimination they face. It's just appalling, if this were happening to women or minorities, it would be world-class headlines. But nobody writes about the particular difficulties our country puts forward for the new employment styles.

They KNOW it helps their bottom line. The only one who don't want it have a hand in the insurance company cookie jar.
