CBO says Obamacare will cost 2 million jobs' worth of
Posted: Dec 10, 2015
Yes, that's right. Enough hours will be lost to equal 2 million jobs.
The further we get with implementing Obamacare, the clearer it becomes that it's a total bust, with exchanges failing, costs going through the roof - and now this from the CBO, not some right-wing nutjob.
It's unlikely that there are many conservatives who are surprised. In fact, it's all going down exactly as we predicted. Even so, it never fails to stun liberals when the magic gubmint-gimme well runs dry, as it always must do with their grand goofy schemes.

Baby boomers choosing to leave workforce - Grandma
[ In Reply To ..]I plan to leave the workforce when I am 62 and not 65. Considerations? Medicare kicks in at 65 and if it were not for the ACA, I would not be able to afford to quit until 65. Because since I can find an affordable policy, I can quit at 62, when I am SS eligible.
Win, win! MT work has made me too physically decrepit to work much past 62, and the youngsters who may need my job can have it!
Me, too, Grandma! - Frosty Mug
[ In Reply To ..]6 months til I am 62. I am a veteran, so I can't get ACA, but will go to the VA until I'm 65. The youngsters can have at it! Cheers and good luck to us all!
Me too! I'm 66, lost my job & unemployed. - O-care + Medicaid kept me afloat - sm
[ In Reply To ..]until I can get on Medicare and receive my SS payments,which will be next month! I can't wait to finally have a steady, reliable income once again.
This link explains it a little better. - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Jobs will not be lost but people will choose to work less because they don't have to worry about losing their health insurance. The ultimate answer is to elect Bernie Sanders and progress toward single-payer healthcare for all, no deductibles, no copays, no huge premiums.
In other words - Dems: Glass half full
[ In Reply To ..]Repubs: Glass half empty, crying wolf, as per usual.

6.5 Million Taxpayers Paid $3 Billion In Obamacare PenaltiesMar 29, 2017
Approximately 6.5 million taxpayers paid $3 billion in Obamacare penalties for not having health insurance in 2016, according to preliminary data from the Internal Revenue Service Commissioner John Koskinen. Beginning in 2014, the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate required that Americans purchase health care coverage or pay a penalty to the Internal Revenue Service.

Obamacare Is Failing From Behind... His Goals For ObamacareJul 20, 2016
1) Have it collapse so that single payer can be implemented amidst the ensuing chaos. 2) Have that happen on somebody else’s watch. Obamacare was designed to fail so the Democrats could “reform” it with complete government provided socialized medicine. That is the entire purpose for it. Obamacare is designed to collapse so they can backfill the vacuum with government run socialized medicine. Eventually, everyone will be on some form of Medicare. I believe that was one of Bernie’ ...
