It's socialism, after all, for the Government to own an interest in a company.

Covered yesterday on YC.[1]

Most people in the US seem to not realize that a social healthcare system is better for all of them due to all of them sharing the bill.

Now only companies are left to pick up the bill, because a republican administration won't ever consider doing it.

I still wonder when CEOs will realize that lack of education and lack of healthcare will eventually land at their doorsteps because they won't have immigrant workforces anymore that can compensate for it.

Have you considered that they don't care? They can make a better profit now, so why worry about what is happening 5 to 10 years down the line?
