Health Care Will Break Industrial Progress?

So much rest on this election for leadership of our country. The decision is, or should be, who will be the best suited to bring the country back from economic disaster. A Republican with vast experience in business or a community organizer that has used his skills for the last 4 years to drive our country into economic ruin?

The election in less the two weeks will be a sign of just what policies the general population believes our leadership should use to solve our problems. More debt, more control, more dependency, or less spending, sound fiscal programs to bring down the debt and create jobs for everyone willing to work.

You Choose.

Adecco, the world's largest staffing company, recently released a survey on top executives and their hiring concern with the new health care legislation. The poll included 501 CEOs, business owners and senior executives, says Reuters.

•About one-third are holding back hiring because of health care reforms and 55 percent say that health care benefits are their biggest current business challenge.
•Only 35 percent said that health care was their biggest worry back in 2007, before the recession.
•ObamaCare is expected to raise insurance costs for employers because of a wider coverage of people, including people with pre-existing medical conditions.

U.S. hiring could pick up after the election, regardless of who wins, because employers will have one less area of uncertainty to keep them on the sidelines.
