As of  Google this morning -- US unemployment (not sorting by long-term and

long term)  9.7%
Austria unemployment
3.8


Considering Europe, Inc, is also in an economic downturn, 3.8% is terrific. 
I believe above 3.8% is our US average during the best of times. 
But our 3.8% is made up mostly of chronically unemployable that don't  
work, don't pay dues, but do get their entitlements. Not an option in  Austria.
It's not a health care bill as much as a tax bill, and whether it's  funded 
by newly printed money (DEBT), or taxes, the potential is  to cripple the 
economy for decades.
