As a good republican, I don't like the idea of a national health care system. And if there is one, is should be kept in the private sector as much as possible. However, I was wathcing Thomas Friedman on TV tonight and he said that the number one reason for companys in the United States moving their factories off shore is health care costs. Not high taxes or high labor costs. In China, the government takes care of health care so the company's don't have to worry about it. He said that $6,000 spent on every GM car goes to the healt benefits of its workers. I don't know if it is true, but what he is saying is the strongest argument I have heard for a national health care system.

This is something you just heard?
