"Some economists say these ballooning dollar figures place a heavy burden on companies doing business in the United States and can put them at a substantial competitive disadvantage in the international marketplace. For large multinational corporations, footing healthcare costs presents an enormous expense. General Motors, for instance, covers more than 1.1 million employees and former employees, and the company says it spends roughly $5 billion on healthcare expenses annually. GM says healthcare costs add between $1,500 and $2,000 to the sticker price of every automobile it makes."
Corporations will say anything to get their point across including inflating costs.
Anyone believing any of that has another thing coming!
Keeping our expensive, for greed medical system is a downer for American industry when manufactured goods can be made by workers that do not have this huge overhead overseas.

If this had happened to Obama, conservative news outlets would be foaming at the mouth to roast him. If B-Rock failed to deliver on his biggest campaign promise, one that he said he would get done "on day 1, could be same day, same hour," Hannity and O'reilly would be bouncing off the walls. And most Trump supporters are aware of this, though they probably wouldn't acknowledge it.
This is a huge blow to Trump's legacy, a failure on healthcare. Now onto the tax reform or infrastructure I guess. We'll see which issue Trump wants to deal with next.
In fairness, healthcare was a tough issue to tackle first. Hindsight is 20/20, but maybe he should've dealt with something else first before tackling the healthcare monster. But I guess if he promised to repeal and replace Day 1, he had no choice.

So the solution is to deny American workers health care, too?

In 3rd world countries that have no benefits for those slaves, er, employees.
The "greed medical system" doesn't overshadow the far more greedy capitalists that run all of these corporations including their 'golden parachutes'. The same corporations that cry for more tax breaks.
It'll be very entertaining to see what approach the Pubs take in gutting healthcare for millions in order to pump more resources to the 1%. Because that is their one overriding priority.
