help needed for question about Obamacare

[Vietnameravet]

an editorial appeared in my local newspaper today insisting that Obamacare would be responsible for the loss of 2.5 million jobs,according to the CBO. I seem to remember those 2.5 million not exactly lost more people who could now retire because they could find affordable healthcare. Can someone help me on this? I want to reply but I want to make sure I have my facts straight.... After all, we all realize Republicans are such sticklers for facts!

People will choose for themselves to retire early or reduce their work hours since they can obtain health insurance without having to stay at their jobs.

3. That report made me seriously wonder about the CBO.

The loss of 2.5 million jobs because people are CHOOSING to retire early does not mean that the positions would go away. It just means that people would leave their position; which, in most cases, creates a new opportunity for someone else.

That report was very misleading.
