re: #385 lawhawk

I’d put this in the indeterminate range:
* Romney’s claims that the ACA will kill jobs. It does mean people are more likely to leave the workforce, but not for reasons Romney states. People will no longer continue working because they’ll have access to health insurance outside jobs. That potentially opens the door to new employees and more job movement - not necessarily a bad thing. It doesn’t reflect that jobs will be destroyed because of the ACA.

I have several friends (moms) who worked just to get health insurance when our kids were little. Most of their husbands were self employed but could not afford insurance.
A lot of these women would have rather have stayed home with their children and with day care expenses, they barely came out ahead. But not having health care insurance when you have kids and are not considered poor, is just not an option.
