I know we don't exactly see eye to eye on this (or at least didn't on July 20, 2007, when I last remember the topic being broached here), but I'm still not convinced that the Republican position on health care is of more use to capital as a whole than the Democratic one. Surely by this point, a number of our rulers outside the insurance industry have noticed what unregulated premiums did to Detroit? Only a few, like Lee Scott and Howard Schultz, have publicly broken with their class consensus on the issue, but BusinessWeek reported eight months ago that the whispers behind the scenes are significantly different.
