The "health care crisis" has contributed significantly to the complete collapse of the U.S. automotive manufacturing industry. They are continuously slashing jobs and closing plants because they're constantly fighting a losing battle against healthcare costs.
Well...that, and really sh**tty car models.
No, you're wrong. The 'complete collapse' of the industry you mention was caused by right-wing political actions.
Zuh? Overseas car manufacturers do not have the same burden for covering health care costs of current and past employees, which gives them a massive competitive advantage.
I know you want to be partisan and rah-rah-Democrat-boom-bah, but, seriously, come on.

It is because of all the benefits they give out. Healthcare is one of them. However, I'd have to disagree with you about the cars. Over the past two years, they started from making their cars bland and then everyone was like you're not selling because these cars have no style. So then they made some really great looking and performing cars, but it turns out people just don't want those either.
