As usual, someone needs to factcheck that fact checker.

I don't know which "economists" they talked to (perhaps Zandi), but any fool that claims it isn't killing jobs is spewing fairy tales. It is pretty obvious when you see part-time hires outpacing full-time by a ratio of 6 to 1 this year, that something is causing it. And given that every thinking person in the Universe could see before-the-fact that Obamcare would do just that, it is kinda hard to argue that isn't the cause.

The claim that you won't be able to "choose your own doctor" is pretty much on target, yet they assert it to be false. News from California this week -- which you can google yourself, I'm not doing it for you -- was that the number of doctors participating in the exchanges was too small and provided limited choice.

You can choose your own doctor so long as you choose the insurance he/she accepts. Which as is it is now. EXCEPT, fewer doctors are apparently going to accept a given insurance.
