I really don't get this. If you give health insurance benefits away, yes, people will accept them. We already know the numbers. CBO has accurate data and it has reduced its forecast by 25% PLUS allocated more of them to Medicaid. An already bad program that was made worse by bringing more people into it. As to job creation, don't be a dumbass. We still have, effectively, close to a 10% unemployment rate if you count the people who have walked away from the job market. And economic productivity is still stagnant, 7 years into the recession. You can try to make it look different from the way it is. But it doesn't change the underlying problems: Obamacare has wrecked the health care system and without the slightest doubt, AS PREDICTED, dramatically slowed any would-be economic recovery.
