CBO Report:
“[t]he estimated reduction [in labor] stems almost entirely from a net decline in the amount of labor that workers choose to supply, rather than from a net drop in businesses’ demand for labor.”
– “A lot of people change their jobs. So the tax benefit should change and go with them, and not be attached to their jobs. We want to address job lock. So, the key question that ought to be addressed in any health care reform legislation, is are we going to continue job lock, or are we going to allow individuals more choice, and portability to fit the 21st century workforce?” [Paul Ryan, 5/20/2009]
– “Today, leaving a job or changing jobs means leav*ing behind the health insurance provided at the place of work. Individuals who wish to take a better job, change careers, or leave the workforce to raise a family or to retire early take substantial risks. [...] Under the McCain plan, which links tax breaks directly to individuals instead of to their place of work, individuals would no longer feel obligated to stay with their employers simply because they need to keep their employer-based health insurance. [Heritage Foundation, 10/15/2008]
– “Of course there are a number of things that I like in health care reform that I’m going to put in place…. I also want individuals to be able to buy insurance, health insurance, on their own as opposed to only being able to get it on a tax advantage basis through their company.” [Mitt Romney, 9/9/2012]
– “[T]he employer-based system leads to ‘job lock,’ whereby people are afraid to leave their jobs if they fall ill on the job, because switching plans could mean higher premiums or denial of coverage.” [Avik Roy, former health care adviser to Mitt Romney, 2/7/2012]
So people are no longer locked into jobs they don't want...and this is bad?
What's bad witchie-poo, is all the lying the scum of the earth dimocraps have been doing.
It isn't that people can change jobs or take a couple years off or maybe, as in the case of my wife, retire a few years early. Yes, the ACA would help my wife (and by extension, me) but what has me, and everybody else, pissed off is the natural way in which you lie...... ABOUT EVERYTHING.
When most of the time, it isn't even necessary
From, "If you like your Insurance...." to, "It will create 3,812,567,043 Jobs" to the bullying tactics used by the scum of the earth dimocraps, "Elections have consequences, we won." to LITERALLY locking Republicans out of ACA planning sessions and meetings INSIDE THEIR OWN BUILDING....
THAT is what's got me pissed off.
Look, I was in the (P&C) business for 20 years. For most of that time I have understood the need for serious Health Insurance Reform... Not "Health Care" but Health Insurance Reform.
I'm for it. Always have been.
But your scumbag party, in its arrogance, isn't for Health Insurance Reform, they want a form of European style 'socialism' (like a social democracy or democratic socialism) imposed through their HEALTH
CARE SYSTEM.
Not only that, but after locking us out (the very people with the expertise in these matters) and letting MORONS like Nazi Pelousy and Sebellious and other IDIOTS who couldn't organize a one-car-funeral, take over..... It goes to shit (Which will cause most dimocrap scum to lie[again, for the 100th time], "The ACA is working fine")
Now, the scum of the earth dimocraps want to blame us!!!! And we had NO PART IN IT!!!!!
THINKING Republicans and THINKING Conservatives could have sold this to our constituents if you had invited us on board. But you didn't.
We could have controlled the scumbag lawyers with Tort Reform. We could have.....
I give up. You people are exactly what I've been ssaying about dimocraps for decades...
You really are, just simply, stupid human beings. I'm talking animal dumb. Incapable of reason. All you know is what you want. You have no idea how to get it other than to lie, cheat and steal.
And when that doesn't work, you blame everybody but yourselves. Which is why you will ALWAYS BE stupid.
dimocraps lie. I despise liars. Can't deal with them, can't trust them, can't depend on them.... I got no use for them. At all
And ALL dimocraps lie
