Of course that is not sustainable forever but savings and capital raising can pay bills until profitability can be reached. Vteck is also correct that many companies will choose to reduce workforce as a method of dealing with increased costs. There isn't going to be a single universal response to health care changes by companies. Every company will handle it differently depending on their circumstances. It is pointless to argue as if business is some monolithic entity that will behave as a single company might. These theoretical arguments aren't going anywhere.
Yeah. I didn't say companies didnt reduce workforce to cover increased costs. I'm just saying there are other ways of doing it. And I'm saying deficit spending is one of those ways, Vteckidd, it seems to me, is suggesting that only governments use deficit spending, and that's far from accurate.
