Jobs exported due to healthcare

I was listening to the Ed Shultz show this afternoon and a caller said that Ontario, Canada now builds more cars than Michigan and that jobs are being exported there in huge numbers.  The jobs apparently are being sent there because of healthcare prices in the US for corporations.  

In Canada obviously healthcare is covered by the government.  I couldn't believe this when I heard it.  I know that in theory one of the reasons for universal healthcare in the US was that it was becoming extremely expensive for private companies to provide health care.  I guess I did not know it was happening already in one of the largest industries in the country.  

Does anybody else know if this is in fact true?  If so, this may be the best talking point yet for the Dems in '06.  Between loss of jobs due to healthcare expenses and the collapse of the drug plan this year, the Dems could win in a landslide on healthcare alone.  Also this may be a huge step towards creating universal healthcare which if jobs continue to be lost, could be a cornerstone of party platform in '08.  Middle America is sick and tired of seeing jobs exported to other countries.  If the Dems can successfully connect the loss of jobs to privatized healthcare in Middle America, this could be the holy grail the Dems need to take back this country.
