The “lost jobs because of Obamacare” meme comes from an study of the bill where it states that, thanks to the health care reform bill passed in Congress last year, more people can retire early instead of staying on their jobs for health care benefits waiting for Medicare. As you can see, the Republicans took the statement of the study, and morphed it into the “job-killing” meme.

I don’t think you answered my question. A huge number of businesses and unions are asking for a waiver from complying with this legislation. I think it is due to the costs. If the costs are too high (per employee) then yes, it could be said that adding this cost would make companies think twice about hiring, and therefore it would “kill Jobs”.
