The New Ford Edge: An Argument for Healthcare Reform?

This statement is buried in a review of the new Ford Edge. In one sentance, it almost perfectly states what is wrong with our current health system and why we are losing good manufacturing jobs. Oh, and the car looks cool, too.

The vehicle is built at Ford's factory in Oakville, Ontario, where because of savings afforded by Canadian healthcare, labor costs are approximately 25% cheaper than in a comparable U.S. plant.
