I seriously doubt the findings. The employer mandate in the Obamacare healthcare takeover act will cause employers to avoid hiring some new workers that they might otherwise have hired. Also, the higher business costs will have to be passed on in terms of significantly higher prices, and inflationary impact that hew have really come to grips with. Finally, the corrosive effect of this on the national psyche, reinforcing the idea that the job of government is to take money by threat of force from taxpayers to give it to other people is a further step on the slippery slope to totalitarian socialist rule.

Any jobs created by the law will be government jobs paid for with government funds. How is this going to help??? One third of all Greeks work for the government there. How's that working out for them? We can create a giant new bureaucracy and entitlement, but I thought the point of all this was to REDUCE health care costs. Are those jobs going to be free?
