I know we’re not all policy wonks, but this research from the Heritage Foundation contains a wealth of information (ammunition) for those of us that believe that we should have a healthcare system operating on free market principles as opposed to Michael Moore’s vision of a state-run monopoly on healthcare turning our hospitals into 1950s psyche wards. Please post relevant links and materials.
P.S. the U.S. Government pays over 60% of all medical costs and we have two government failures called Medicare and Medicaid that are going to go bankrupt leaving us with trillions in debt.

The company has kept its word and still adamantly opposes unions in its stores. But in February, Wal-Mart agreed to work with the SEIU to push for universal access to affordable health care. The partnership floored many in the labor movement and stole some of the thunder of Wal-Mart's critics.
"Two years ago, no one would have ever expected [Wal-Mart Chief Executive] Lee Scott and [SEIU President] Andy Stern to be discussing health-care issues. Now they're at a point where they're actually at the same table," said Nu Wexler, spokesman for Wal-Mart Watch. "If Wal-Mart is serious about pressing for universal health care, that alone will make our work worthwhile."
