Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney repeated charges that President Barack Obama's health care law will kill jobs -- a claim at odds with Congressional Budget Office projections and the effects of Romney's own health care law in Massachusetts.

"I just don't know how the president could have come into office, facing 23 million people out of work, rising unemployment, an economic crisis at the -- at the kitchen table, and spend his energy and passion for two years fighting for Obamacare instead of fighting for jobs for the American people. It has killed jobs," Romney said.

The Congressional Budget Office disagrees, FactCheck.org noted in June. According to the nonpartisan agency's estimates, health care reform will reduce the workforce by 0.5 percent. That's mostly because people would choose to retire early or work fewer hours, FactCheck.org reported.

If the national experience under Obamacare mirrors what happened in Massachusetts under Romney's similar health care law, job losses won't be a major issue. Employment trends in Massachusetts since Romneycare took effect have mirrored national trends, concluded a report issued by the Urban Institute in June. "The evidence from Massachusetts would suggest that national health reform does not imply job loss and stymied economic growth," said the report.

of course, Rmoney doesn't want to consider how big increases in health care costs to people - WITHOUT THE ACA in place - would impact sales of all companies. People spending a significantly greater amount of their income on health care will be spending much less for everything else. .... Huh, RMoney .... what the fuck about THAT!? Let's see you bullshit your way out of that one!

Actually, if ACA wasn't there and Health care costs kept going up like they have been the last decade, the impact on jobs due to depressed sales, on every sector BUT health care would be far greater than the cost of the ACA to employers.

1. How can adding millions to healthcare cost jobs from

insurance and medicine employment? It seems a boom to those sectors.
