Wal-Mart supports employer mandated health care

Nice try junior - I replied to your lame GDP argument. A reduction in GDP doesn't mean it'll cost less - it just means less is being spent. I'm sure that will sail right over your head, but it's true none the less.

No, not anecdotes- headlines. I don't want those sorts of things to happen here as they do in places where your "piles of evidence from around the globe" come from.

Okay, so you were just making a pointless argument. Since quite a few of those countries have similar or superior health outcomes to the US, spending less money is every bit as good.

Those headlines amount to nothing more than anecdotes. Similar medical horrors happen here in America, just for slightly different reasons. This is why comparing horror stories is pointless and is something people only do after they have lost the actual argument.

I have to wonder if this is a move to help eliminate competition.

Small businesses and Wal-Mart have employees who both get health care through taxes = level footing.

Small businesses have to provide insurance for a small group at a higher rate vs Wal-Mart on a giant group plan discount = Wal-Mart Advantage

If business wants to support health care that would be fine by me, but of course it would have to be health care for everybody. We have child labor laws and lots of folk are too old to work or too sick or disabled and they need health care too.
