One Tenth and Growing...
Health Care a Bigger Problem than Social Security
As a lobbyist who works on behalf of relatively small employers I can tell you that this rings true to me. Worse yet is the mushrooming cost of medicare/medicaid in light of the bloated perscription drug benefit added by the GOP. Oh yes, then there is the Pension Benefit Garauntee Corporation (like the FDIC for pensions)...everytime you hear of a large corporate bankruptcy the PBGC steps in to insure that the company pensions are honored.
