From the New York Times:

"Health Care Law May Result in 2 Million Fewer Full-Time Workers"

Obamacare is so bad that even the NYT acknowledges it.

It was a bad deal from day one.

Even an extinct Dodo would know that.

only the die hard barry lovers can't see it....

You guys happen to be republicans by any chance?

by chance? not me, i claim neither... but i do hate the liberals right now

I don't know of any Republicans who are regulars in this particular forum.

Besides, the topic of this thread is what the New York Times is reporting about the Affordable Care Act.

By the way, the NYT changed the title of its story after I created this discussion thread.

In an opinion piece for the New York Post, John Podhoretz writes the following:



In a column for the Washington Post, Dana Milbank writes the following:



It is the Congressional Budget Office that is saying negative things about the Affordable Care Act. Only a Democrat partisan would try to spin the CBO's claims into an alleged partisan attack by Republicans.

As Con would say..... "Bush dood it!"

A friend of mine is a teacher and her school district moved her from 5 days to 4 days so they wouldn't have to pay her insurance. now she has to pay for her own insurance and she makes less money...

According to the CBO, 2 million workers will be able to throw off the chains of full time bondage, and will be able to work reduced hours and still participate in the Dear Leader's wonderful compulsory affordable health care scheme plan.

Spokesperson for Commissar Reid states truthfully that Rethuglikkkan Teabagger Reactionaries will try to "spin" the loss of the equivalent of 2 million full time enslavements as a negative to further their racist attack on Dear Leader.

Under Obamacare,individuals will be empowered to make choices about their own lives and livelihoods, like retiring on time rather than working into their elderly years or choosing to spend more time with their families, White House press secretary Jay Carney said in a statement.

No longer will they be shackled by ability to gain meaningless material goods, or improve the quality of their non-productive end years. People's Legitimate Speaker Peloski stated, "losing that 40-hour work week will really free Americans like you to pursue your happiness to follow your passion."

The CBO also envisions further enslavement hour reductions into the future, redistributing more joy to more workers!

Democratic Senator: If You Want Your Doctors Back Pay More


WASHINGTON, February 4, 2014 US Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D- N.H.) said in an interview last Friday that the millions of people who have lost their doctors due to Obamacare may be able to get their doctors back. However, there is a catch. They have to be willing to pay more, she said.

Wasn't the point of the Affordable Care Act to cut the costs of medical care? On average, premiums have skyrocketed 44% due to Obamacare. In many cases, premiums have even tripled. According to Shaheen, the solution is to simply pay even more for healthcare.

At least for people who are willing to pay more, that they have that option of going to their doctor and hospital no matter what their insurer does, Shaheen stated.

Here, Shaheen attempts to shift blame on the insurance companies. However, the healthcare law prohibits insurers from offering many plans. As a result, millions lost their health insurance and doctors respectively.

Welcome to New Hampshire's shiny new two-tier healthcare system. You can keep your doctor and access the best hospital for you, but only if you are willing to pay more ,much more. Does Senator Shaheen really think she's off the hook because she voted for Obamare, but did not write it, said Republican challenger Jim Rubens.

Shaheen told supporters at a private event that Obamacare was having a positive impact. In contrast to Shaheen's claims, major insurance providers have dropped at least ten hospitals in New Hampshire, and now tens of thousands of women in the state are without care providers due to Obamacare.

In the interview, Shaheen even admits that there is a serious lack of doctors and hospitals accepting the new healthcare plans under Obamacare. However, she refused to answer whether or not she'd vote for it again if given the chance.

Less Jobs,and higher Healthcosts!

No.
Now,it's my turn.
Are you, any of your family or friends Illegally here in the US?

Also, do ya'll refer to (our) country as the US or Aztlan?

Obozocare definitely kills jobs...... let's hope that the only killing practiced under this monstrocity

Repeat this story millions of times and you have those who were hurt and cancel out those who got free medicaid. They could have expanded medicaid without obamacare.

That Obamacare Will Drive 2.5 Million Americans Out Of The Workforce

Yesterday, Washington’s official non-partisan bean-counter, the Congressional Budget Office, dropped a bomb. By 2024, says the CBO, Obamacare will reduce the size of the U.S. labor force by 2.5 million full-time-equivalent workers. That’s roughly triple what the CBO had estimated three years ago. Such a sizeable decline in the labor force will have substantial detrimental effects on the U.S. economic and fiscal picture. But the CBO wasn’t responsible for the most amazing thing that happened yesterday.
That title belongs to the Obama White House, where Press Secretary Jay Carney claimed that 2.5 million Americans leaving the workforce was a good thing, because they would no longer be “trapped in a job just to provide coverage for their families, and would have the opportunity to pursue their dreams.”

Seen a lot of this even locally. Has to do with a time sensitive thing. You know.... "implemented prior to" or some other wording. They can't alter some contracts but they can alter items within it based on hardship and other elements of employment.

Cause and affect

Oregon State is under investigation for fraud on their "Cover Oregon" fed funded website. $220M given with oversite and procedural analysis since 2010. All check points were certified during implementation, but the money is gone and the website has NEVER worked

It just gets better

About 70% of our local economy is tied to the many military bases, the other 30% to tourism. I have heard it a lot.... complaint after complaint. They call it the "Affordable Care Act"..... as it bankrupts an entire nation and its people!

WTF? Double post
