Was listening to some newsradio today - many analysts are painting a bleak picture. Heard that Hummer and Saab were going to be let go, maybe more. I've already seen where Chevy is not sponsoring several NASCAR races next year.

Rick Wagoner is supposed to deliver an announcement tomorrow morning at 0830 EST. Should be worth listening to.

See - this is how a political discussion SHOULD happen. We all kept it civilized, we presented info in a logical manner, and we all agree to disagree. Thanks!!

Oh, Mark - to answer your question about who is paying for those who don't have insurance right now (Mcare, Mcaid and uninsured), they would pay their own premiums, just as the rest of us do. Everyone gets money from somewhere - the unemployed and underemployed get it from the government, we get it from our jobs. If those people who don't have insurance now refuse to take their money (that the government is giving them) nd buy health insurance, the government would withhold the amount of the premiums and pay an insurance company directly.

As for people who have jobs, don't receive government benefits, and still don't make enough money to pay the premiums, they'd have to make some tough decisions.

OK, back to GM!!
