Questions for discussion: 

• Summarize the comments made about the state of the economy and taxation.
• How might a national health tax and government run insurance plan that removes individual organizations from direct responsibility for employee insured programs be considered financially good for organizational finances?
• How would a universal health program affect those corporations directly involved in the health care field such as pharmaceutical, insurance, hospital, and hospital supply firms?
