host: dan is next in corpus christi.r: this initiative by these three big companies to provide their own health care is really in keeping with what adam smith predicted if capitalism was to that what compensation of them to work or's would have to morph to take into consideration previously taken for granted things. so this health care argues for considering health care as an infrastructure, just like a big company needs a parking lot for its workers to part. it needs them to be healthy to show up. this is infrastructure and it argues for single-payer. host: let's take that point. guest: there is an argument that the employer system that is unusual to be united states is a good system for providing health insurance to people because your employer cares about whether your healthy or not. they want you to show up to work and be happy. because health benefits are part of your pay and they're giving her some celery and health benefits, if the health insurance they give you is lousy and unhappy, you are less likely to work fo
