Re: Obama Transition Said to Consider a ‘Prepack’ Auto Bankruptcy

A GM bankruptcy is the “only way” for the biggest U.S. automaker to end union costs that make it uncompetitive


Auto-makers have said for years that health care costs are killing their bottom line. And the so-called legacy costs, which are health care costs of retirees both hourly AND salary.

So what is the solution, stop paying for employee health care? Stop paying retiree health care? Or just a thought, if the cash strapped corporations are in front of Congress anyway, why not ask for help with health care?
