No mention of the impact of increased health care cost on wage increases (that I saw).

What solution do you propose? That American workers go without medical care? (if they pay from their own pockets it has to come from somewhere, if not from wages then from credit cards or else). Or that the medical costs are somehow lowered?

RE: the impact of health care insurance costs on wages

I should have specified that I was talking about the cost of the insurance.

I believe that increased health care insurance costs do come out of wage increases. Does that mean that employers that don't "provide" health insurance give bigger wage increases? I don't know.

Solutions? This of course brings up, why are health care costs gong up so fast? At least I've seen many articles stating so.

Is it the millions and millions of ILLEGAL and legal aliens with millions and millions of ILLEGAL and legal aliens on the way here? Is it scum like John Edwards extorting billions and billions out of health care each year?

(Not that ILLEGAL and legal aliens should get no health care and that there aren't problems in health care.)
