GOPers Oughta Love Obamacare: It Likely Encourages Entrepreneurship

Never mind that reality is a bit more complicated than that. You could argue that the GOP should actually embrace the law because it could do the opposite: give Americans the freedom to start their own businesses.


By offering people an alternative to employer-based insurance, the law could reduce what's known as "job lock," when people stay in a job largely because it's the only way they can get health coverage -- a goal that conservatives, too, have advocated for in the past. The White House, in its growing effort to combat the GOP spin, forwarded that argument Thursday.

"By increasing workers’ mobility across jobs, secure access to health insurance helps them to find the job that is best for them," Jason Furman, chairman of President Barack Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, wrote in a blog post. "Moreover, reducing job lock encourages entrepreneurship, a critical ingredient for growth and job creation."

Outside the political realm, evidence does exist that Obamacare could be a catalyst for more entrepreneurship.

1. This could show that the GOP actually do not want higher employment. Because

most of the jobs will be created in small businesses. Why do they hate small business?

5. Actually, single payer is the best thing for entrepreneurship, since it completely

decouples health care from employment. That's what I was posting, but Obamacare may get us closer to single payer. At least that's what the Club for Growth is warning about.

6. Having grown up in Canada, and using

our public health care system quite. bit I can tell you it is great. You get treatment when you need health care. All the hospitals are wonderful. Plus it costs half as much as the system the USA has had. Win all around.

4. Since republicons and other ODSers hate everything

Obama.. that ain't gonna happen.
