I know this is a from an old neocon site --and the lies about 'overtaxed' US business is b.s., why just see David Sirota's article

Memo to Fox News & the GOP: America Has the Second-Lowest Business Taxes In the World
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-sirota/memo-to-fox-news-the-gop_b_136557.html

and you can see if this kind of money were returning after being squirreled away in offshore havens etc. Obama could pay for his healthcare plans AND potentially do a Nixon-like 'revenue-sharing' with the states.

Something to consider.

2. I believe that
If the price of health care is a) reduced, and b) lifted off the backs of employers, small businesses will start popping up left and right, competing effectively with the giant corporations, hiring people, making money, feeding a broadening cycle of opportunities, increasing tax revenues.

Single payer heath care will largely pay for itself.
The current system is like big cancer sapping our whole country.
