11. I think business has a love/hate relationship with universal health
care. On the one hand, employer-based health care is expensive and a pain to administer. On the other hand, a lot of employers know that many of their good employees would leave IN AN INSTANT if they were all of a sudden covered by universal health care. I personally would leave my job tomorrow, and I bet I'm not the only one.

And, of course, there's always the fact that there are tons of businesses out there who owe their existence to the crappy health care "system" we have now -- all the insurance companies, medical billers, big pharma, etc. etc.
