Reply #2: It's a good point, BUT

what about companies like BMW, Honda, Toyota etc. who also manufacture cars in the US, mostly to sell here too? I'm sure they pay their employees health insurance, or at least part of it. They're still making a profit.

I hate to admit it, but I do think the biggest problem with the OLD American car makers is their commitment to their pension plan. Please don't misunderstand me. I WISH I had one of thos plans!!!! The problem is that almost every large company has walked away from those years ago, and those who haven't are doing it now.
