"Let’s start talking about the economic benefits of universal health care instead of debating the morality of entitlements. Not only would universal health care save money by fostering a healthier population through preventative care, it would lead to peak performance of our workforce, with people choosing careers based on their passions rather than which company offers the best benefits package.
