They care because if they don't show some progress they'll be out of a job and probably have to scrape to get by on a couple of million dollars a year.

For some time I've wondered, as I see companies trying push more and more of the health care costs on employees, why they haven't pushed for national health care. Never a peep from corporate America on it.

Afraid of offending Doctors? Drug companies? Health Insurance companies?
I doubt if they're afraid of an increase in corporate taxes, but maybe a mandatory fee per employee, if it went through.
