It’s time to rebuild our infrastructure, which will provide training in the trades for a new generation and bring the green revolution into the trades too.
But, universal health care, preferably single payer, would do more to help businesses compete in the world market than any tax break some pug administration might have given them.
Why:
Missed work hours and reduced production because people go to work sick and then get sicker when they don’t have access to doctors and medicine.
Mobility, workers need the option of relocating where the new jobs are.
Businesses ability to forecast future expenses can then ‘set aside’ the growing cost of health care. And it won’t grow as steeply once everyone is covered and there are checks on the medical ‘industry,’ so there won’t be the same opportunities to ‘make a killing’ on illness.
I’ve probably missed a lot of points too?
It’s emotionally healing for those who have health care to trust that everyone has it, it’s not a privilege, it’s a right.
