I would rather that you spend your time on providing preferred status for the pensioners and the terminated workers and that you give a preferred plus, or super-priority, for the long-term disabled. In that manner we can be assured that when there is money in the corporations the moneys are going to fulfill the commitments of the deferred wage and the insurance-like product that they offered employees.
I personally am not a big fan of public insurance guaranteed plans. I'm concerned that it does give the opportunity for an offloading of legacy costs that were committed to by the corporation. If they have funds to honour those obligations, those funds should be used first. I don't like to see the opportunity to take thousands of people and put them onto a public insurance plan, which is then borne by all corporations.
