Interesting.....I agree with most all of what he said except his typical Republican dumbness towards health care.

"85% of Americans like their health insurance" That's great...for those that HAVE it....since only 65% of the country has it....that's a bit of a skewed number. Sure your average rich republican likes their fancy health care....that is a given. The problem is that so many have NO access to any reasonable form of health coverage. Its all fine and good if those who can afford it choose to have a fancy private health plan, but for the rest who are not so fortunate, there should be an option other than dying or going bankrupt. Most of Europe have fancy private health options just like we have here, and those who can and want to pay for it, do. But the rest of the population is also able to receive care. That is how it should be.

The video wasn't about health care...and not sure how the republican party got involved either...

Anyway it was an interesting perspective on our currant situation from one of our business leaders.

He still talked about it for a bit.

He did have interesting things to say on everything else though. Good video.
