[quote=briansd1]flu, I don’t disagree that the US economy if facing great challenges but it’s not because of health care reform.
I actually believe that health care is part of the reforms that we need to building a more competitive economy.
Like ocrenter posted before, a single payer system such as they have in Taiwan is business friendly.
I’ve read ocrenter’s blog since the beginning and I agree with him on housing as well as on health care. 50% off or Year 2000 house prices and a single payer health care system. Bravo!![/quote]
I think what you don’t realize is Taiwan/China’s government is different from the U.S. They can actually afford to pay for the bills. Their tax rates are lower, and in general, their citizens do a much better job of “saving”. Us, on the other hand, we’re piss poor, have a low savings rate, and spend money regularly we don’t have.

March 26, 2010 at 2:36 PM #531787briansd1Guestflu, if Taiwan can do it, why can’t we?
In 1949 when the KMT fled to Taiwan, that island was an economy backwater.
I don’t think that businesses are too worried about the new health care bill. The stock market moved up in response to the passage of the bill.
I understand that small businesses are having a hard time because of lack of sales. But it’s not because of health care reform that’s not been implemented yet.

March 26, 2010 at 4:28 PM #531842HobieParticipantFor me the stock market is not a good measure for good legislation. After all the insurance companies got everything they wanted and are riding the wave. Soon, this tide will turn and they will be in trouble.
Here is a stock market example: Jack in the Box has grown 20% YTD while Qualcomm, is down about -10%. Doesn’t make sense. Burgers outpaces technology??
