If you have a business that makes plastic goods like wastepaper baskets and such and you have to hire someone to administer your Retirement plan, your Healthcare plan, a union liaison employee, an employee that deals with the E.P.A. and OSHA, etc. etc. etc. Not to mention all the money wasted paying into FICA taxes and dealing with government paperwork.

So now you are mired down in crap that has absolutely nothing to do with making plastic products. Then all of the sudden your competition is off-shore making the same damned product you do for a nickel on the dollar!

Half the reason for the high cost of medical care is due to Medical Benefits. Nobody is concerned with how much medical care costs because well it is taken care of for them. Just show em your card and it is all is well!

Tis a shame so many in America are sucked in by this crap! We used to be a nation of individuals who lived the American dream, now most of us are sheep bleating about benefits and who is gonna take care of me!

Well, the Medical Malpractice industry and doctor's attempts to counter it (40 tests for a sprained knee) certainly contribute.
