It would help if we imposed a tariff on imported cars equal to the health care subsidy provided by their government.

It would help if the USA had a national health care system like all other major industrialized countries. Even the former head of GM-Canada said that the national healthcare was good for business - until he was moved back to a US job. They reap what they sow. As for the pensions, the unions should have demanded proper funding rather than empty promises. I guess the "growth" religion entraps all classes.

Basic health care insurance provided by the gov't as one option for US citizens would bring down a major cost to US corporations and level the playing field. The cost would be great, but what is the cummulative cost we've already incurred due to lost jobs that won't ever come back. US workers and corporations can compete if the game is fair.
