Once it passes companies will have more resources for hiring new employees.

Employers won't have to pay as much for benefits for employees when there are other options for Health Insurance.

A single-payer plan would help businesses more than this health care bill would.

You would also see people leaving jobs that they were just hanging on to just for the health care benefits and they could afford to break out and start their own small business.

I think productivity would rise as well.

The Health Care Bill would include a single payer plan... the govt... which is the main objective of the Bill.

The other options are free? less expensive? less intrusive? based in free market constructs?

What are the options?

Health care run with US Postal service economics?
Or better yet Medicare efficiencies to pay every fraud that comes to its reimbursement dept.?

What other options is this administration giving the people?

Single payer plan as an option along with private insurance... would bring down premiums.

Which health care plan are you looking at?

I am a fan of H.R. 676 which is a single-payer bill in the House. This is NOT the bill Democrats are working hard to pass. Please don't believe the right-wind media when they tell you this plan is a "government" plan or "single-payer" because it couldn't be any further from that.

It will be a distribution of American's tax dollars to private health insurance companies.
Sure there is an increase in Medicaid but that's just a pittance compared to the money health insurance companies can reap when the government starts giving subsidies. You can't forget the mandate either.

This is nothing but a giveaway to health insurance companies.

What is your proof of this?

At what cost to personal freedoms?

Single payer gov't style is a recipe for nanny state at best, marxism at its worst.

It won't happen. There would be revolution in this country if gov't passes any such non sense.

I don't disagree but you're missing the point that the bill the Democrats are trying to pass is not single-payer.
I favor a single-payer system that would allow people to buy private health insurance if they want it. There should be some sort of choice.
