This is exactly why "big business" is in favor of a government-run health care system. The purpose of a government run health care system is not to provide coverage to everyone who doesn't have insurance . . . it's to reduce the cost (by reducing the quality) of insurance for those who are already covered in a manner that gives them: 1) no incentive to shop around for a different job that offers a better insurance plan; and 2) no mechanism to complain about it (since it will be run by a massive, anonymous bureaucracy).

And don’t forget that the tax payer picks up the health care costs of “big business” and its employees. Investors foreign and domestic reap the windfall on the back of the tax payer.
It’s a nasty thing on so many levels.
BTW, “It’s for the children” is a red herring. The children of today will suffer tomorrow en masse if the gov’t takes over the America’s health care. The iron fist is good for beating an enemy, and moving envelopes; but, for precision neurological surgery, mammograms, and handling beakers, it’s incapable, too clumsy, and inevitably indifferent.
