CBO Director: Actually, Obamacare Will Reduce Unemployment
President Obama's health care reform law isn't going to kill 2.5 million jobs, Congressional Budget Office director Douglas Elmendorf told the House Budget Committee on Wednesday.
One day after multiple media outlets misinterpreted a CBO report on Obamacare, Elmendorf clarified the CBO's position during the hearing. The federal agency, Elmendorf said, had found Obamacare “spurs employment and would reduce unemployment over the next few years."
He's selling a bad bill of goods to all the Kool Aid drinkers.
No. No. It will raise employment. People will have to work four part-time jobs because no companies will be offering full-time employment. Something that was said three years ago and sunuvabich, here it is!
Any business man worth their weight in gold (and they all say they are), will tell you: If you have a good employee, you want to keep them with you if at all possible. If the reason is due to health coverage, then a business person might simply take the cost as 'doing business' to keep that employee with the company. That has been the practice of most white collar jobs for decades. Even many blue collar jobs will pick up the tab on health insurance for employees. Small businesses benefit from the law since they could pay for a portion of the individual's healthcare costs.
Trust me when I say, businesses that treat their employees like shit, often feel high turn over, higher than normal retraining costs, low motivation, low productivity and little loyalty. Consider that Starbucks can often obtain workers who stay with the company for a long time; where as Wal-Mart is ALWAYS looking for help. The first treats its employees to a good wage and benefits and the company obtains dividends for its efforts. The second treats its employees like shit, and profits off their low pay (you and me, the taxpayer are paying the rest of their 'living wages').
