IMO this bail out is like some business having to replace engines in all it's trucks

Because it refused to do ordinary preventive maintenance. I know this is a little stretch but here is my reasoning. If Business did not have to provide health care it could be more competetive world wide and not have to borrow so much money and if government handled health care there would not be so many having to go to the emergency room for care, driving the cost of health care through the roof and more people would be getting Physical Exams more often (preventive maintenance) which would catch problems before they develop into something extremely expensive to fix. This seven hundred billion would be far better spent on Health Care for every American which would free business up to offer higher more competive wages and lower the cost of goods and become competetive in the world once again. I think 90 percent of this problem is because the USA is the ONLY westernized Country that does not maintain the Health and Welfare of the nation. It builds bombs but doesn't build healthy bodies. Preventive Maintenance could have solved all of this. Nationalized Health Care is the answer for all fo this. If we want a "healthy" economy we must have a "healthy" country..
