With Respect To The CBO Analysis On The Repug Healthcare Bill - Did They Comment On Jobs.....
that would be gained or lost if it becomes law?
ACA - because of the number of new Americans that would be covered by it - actually increased jobs in the healthcare sector. If I'm not mistaken - since ACA - the healthcare sector just continually added jobs.
If the Repug bill gets passed - it looks like we'll be going back in the opposite direction. More people losing their health insurance. More people opting not to take insurance because of high premiums.
It seems to me that with that in mind that the healthcare sector would begin to hemorrhage jobs if passed.
Had the CBO addressed this issue in their analysis?
