The argument is that Whole Foods is a very liberal store with liberal customers, and the CEO himself needs to have a liberal viewpoint to cater to them. I disagree with this stance.
Whole Foods does a lot of good, whether it is by providing its non-union employees with better than union benefits or promoting the "buy local" movement. It should not matter what the owner of the store's views are, especially since the alternative shopping choices are so bleak.
In any case, while I support President Obama's healthcare initiatives, Mackey does offer some good points that we should keep in mind. He actually lists 8 points, but these are the ones that I feel should be part of any healthcare reform:
- Remove obstacles to HSAs. I have one, you probably should too. It is simply the best plan available for most people.
- Allow individuals to write off the cost of health insurance premiums.
- Tort reform. Doctors are sued way too much, for way too much
