Remember all those complaints about Obama pushing the Health Care Reform Bill when he should have
focused on unemployment?

Well, the CBO says the repeal of the bill would ad $230 Billion to the deficit over the next 10 years.

I take that to mean that the Health Care Reform Bill is now saving $230 Billion over the next 10 years.

Also, repealing the bill would raise rates to consumers. That tells me that the bill is now holding costs down for consumers and their employers!

Lowering the deficit and saving employers money on health insurance. That's got to be helping employment!

1. And on day 3 of the 112th Congress....
.... the GOP in the House will devote most of the day to a vain, fruitless effort at repealing the health care bill and will do NOTHING to try and bring down the unemployment number.
