It may be desired by "employers" but does it make sense from the overall needs of the capitalist system for such a large proportion of the GDP to be associated with health care? If this system was more Spartan, it would find ways to reduce these costs to a minimum. Insurance companies are basically parasitic. Of course, that's the general drift of American capitalism. Aetna instead of infrastructure renewal. ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: [email protected] Set your options at: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
