$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('veliger', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('emeraldg40', 'I') just wish that GM was more like Toyota. That is all. They are not cutting health care. They pay very well and we Americans are buying them as fast as they come off the line. GM could have done the same. That is the point here. If they had we would not be having a post called GM CANCELS HEALTHCARE peace
Before you praise Toyota, get your facts straight!!
Toyota Sales were down 21.1% last month year over year.

They may have to cut back on Geisha Girls and Whale Meat.
By the way, since Toyota doesn't offer retiree healthcare in the US, it would be difficult for them to cancel it. Toyota also has all of about 3 retirees in the US since they haven't been assembling cars here very long.
Just a few thoughts here: A family of 4 or 5 is not going to buy a Prius....but they will buy a Toyota SUV. Second, review how close San Antonio is to the Mexican border.....can you say low wages. Third, theres alot of money in Texas. Solvent banks, no mortgage mess etc. Toyota moved here for tax breaks as well. I read somewhere that the SUV's are being shipped to UAE. As far as GM goes, it has been my understanding that retiree health care was supposed to be in a money making fund, so my question is what happened to it?
