Wouldn’t that be a scream, campaigning on health care for all and actually starting it right out the gate? Ohh that sounds like a race horse to me. I know this would only entail a section of Americans but why can’t we chip away at it a little at a time. This is what the GOP’s have been doing to Row vs Wade. Should we play by their example? We need to start some where. Auto industry gets health care Jan 21, 2008. </p> <p>If we wait and let the auto industries go bankrupt it will damage what little power the union has left which is what I think the auto industry leaders want to do anyways.</p> Since health care costs are a huge part of the auto industries debts, how about giving auto workers and retirees the same health care the senators enjoy and give it to them now.

If we wait and let the auto industries go bankrupt it will damage what little power the union has left which is what I think the auto industry leaders want to do anyways.
