[lbo-talk] Way to Go, Kruggie

[Jim Devine]

WS: >Dr. Vincente Navarro ...  also believed that the main opposition
to a national health plan comes not  from the insurance sector, but
from the business leadership, because discretionary health insurance
is one of their main anti-union and labor-control weapons.  If people
did not worry about losing their health insurance, they would be more
belligerent about wages and working conditions.<

now that fewer & fewer employers are providing such health insurance,
this factor is becoming weaker.
