WH sends out a few flunky's to say that this is a good thing...
Another misinterpreted CBO study. You guys do this a lot! It's like you (collectively) read up to the AHA! point and then skip reading the rest. Not so amazingly, the same piece explained why.

I can't wait for the day the right actually starts htinking for itself, although I doubt that'll happen.

Obamacare to cut work hours by equivalent of 2 million jobs: CBO | Reuters
Why?
Do you care?
The less people working full time will not only hurt them but it will be a blow to the economy. The less you make, the less stuff you can buy. So, yes I care, since I live in this country and would like for everyone that wants a job to be able to get one.
No, idiot. I meant do you care why people are projected to leave the workforce, according to the report?
Do you know? Do you care?

Course we've been saying this all along but dems have had their heads permanently stuck in the sand.

Then why didn't you ask that dipshit?
Oh my Gawd.
This is disasterous.
This is horrible.
I better read about it to see exactly what is being said by the CBO.
The report also reduces CBO's original projection of 7 million people signed up for private health insurance through the state and federal exchanges by the end of 2014 down to 6 million people insured by the end of the year. Medicaid enrollment projections were reduced from 9 million people to 8 million people.
"Over time, more people are expected to respond to the new coverage options, so enrollment is projected to increase sharply in 2015 and 2016," the report said.
the report said decreased hours will be the choice of workers, not employers.
Health law could mean fewer full-time workers, CBO says
The ACA is cheaper than it expected.
It will "markedly increase" the number of Americans with health insurance.
The risk-adjustment provisions, which Congressional Republicans want to overturn as a "bailout" of the insurance industry, will actually turn a profit to the U.S. Treasury.
The CBO projects that the act will reduce the supply of labor, not the availability of jobs. There's a big difference. In fact, it suggests that aggregate demand for labor (that is, the number of jobs) will increase, not decrease; but that many workers or would-be workers will be prompted by the ACA to leave the labor force, many of them voluntarily.
As economist Dean Baker points out, this is, in fact, a beneficial effect of the law, and a sign that it will achieve an important goal. It helps "older workers with serious health conditions who are working now because this is the only way to get health insurance. And (one for the family values crowd) many young mothers who return to work earlier than they would like because they need health insurance. This is a huge plus."

Whew, for a second, I thought these right wingers weren't full of shit. Glad I was wrong.

Words are confusing things to conservatives.
The questions asked were "Why?" and "Do you care?" and I answered the questions by saying "yes I care" and gave my reason why.
Pretty basic stuff and I hope that clarifies your confusion.
Did you read the CBO report? Can you show me where in that report it says "less people working full time" ? or that people who "wants a job" can not get one?

I don't think the CBO report addresses any of the really major ACA deficits so I am just posting to subscribe.
What I want to know is why Liberals continue to tout this law as something people need? Has it not already been proven to be not so? Why do they insist on foisting this on America?
This is what you get when the GOP decided to not do anything about a very real problem when it had the chance to do so. The GOP knew damn well what the Democrats were going to do about health care when given a chance, and the GOP still chose to do nothing.
We were sold down the river into slavery by the GOP. Reap the whirlwind, rubes!
We are now on our way to single payer health care. When ObamaCare flails and fails, the people will cry out for UHC, and they will get it. In our lifetime.
Oh my Gawd.

Linking health insurance to low end employment is a recipe for disaster. It hasn't been working for a long time now.
Well, if Dean's LA times link turns out to be an accurate prediction, lower paid workers may work fewer hours, but in effect see a pay raise in the form of HC benefits, and thereby have more money to spend on goods and services, which was the intent.
It still seems to me that the dems built a Golden Gate bridge to span a stream, but as G5000 posts, the gop has only itself to blame for not addressing the issue, and instead passing the Medicare drug benefit, cutting taxes for no reason and wandering off into Iraq.
Now right wingers believe the CBO? I guess we still are up jobs since the CBO projected the Obama stimulus created 3.5 million jobs.

Sparky?
If you are going to be condescending, please try to be accurate. The report did not say we were losing jobs.
You might try reading it. Then commenting. It works better that way.
