Ted, > How can it cost jobs when you are getting more 40 million more people health insurance which will require more insurance administrators, doctors, nurses et al?

The money has to come from taxes. We still live in a free market economy, where the more you tax, the harder it is for the economy to grow.

You may be growing the health care industry with higher demand, but at what cost to the rest of the American economy?

P.S. - I hear Congress now wants to undo one of the "cost-saving measures" in the bill, namely the cut in doctors' reimbursements for treating Medicare patients. That ought to discourage doctors from becoming family practitioners. And those are already in short supply.

It won't have any more doctors, nurse's, etc because they are already administeing most of the health care. Insurance adjusters will be laid off because the government will do it, but typically they will do it with a lot less people. They have no competition and don't care if the lines go out the door and around the block.
