ObamaCare, formally known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, is bad news for U.S. workers.
Strike One: ObamaCare is fiscally dangerous, raising the risk of higher taxes all around — including taxes on labor at a time when the job market is struggling.
Strike Two: ObamaCare creates strong incentives for employers — even while holding workers financial harmless — to drop employer-sponsored health insurance for as many as 35 million Americans. This is sure to lead to widespread turmoil in labor compensation, employee insurance coverage and labor relations.
Strike Three: ObamaCare slaps big increases in effective marginal tax rates on low-income workers. Every worker forced onto the subsidized exchanges is sure to face higher barriers to upward mobility and the pursuit of the American Dream.
ObamaCare should be sent back to the dugout.
ObamaCare instead increases the deficit by more than $500 billion in the first 10 years.
ObamaCare is not only poor health policy -- it is damaging labor market policy.

We all may be eating beans before Zero is finished.
What are these “workers” thinking?
0bama’s goal isn’t to “help” - it’s to CONTROL.
And 0bamacare is going to be very good at that.
Obummercare has been great for me - my premiums only went up 37% this month.
Step daughter’s went up 17% last month.
Are you sure this was in the Politico?
the Federal Government has been damaging the labor market since the Woodrow Wilson administration, if not earlier
Impeach the illegitimate Muslim Communist Chicago political hack now.

This is from the mailing I got yesterday from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services:
"If your hospitalized, the new law also helps you return home successfully -- and avoid going back -- by helping to coordinate your care and connecting you to services and supports in your community."
Say what? No doctor follow-ups? Some community organizer is gonna take care of me? They will probably make major decisions regarding my health.
Abort ObamaCare - stick it in a closet and let it die!
