For those who would
argue that the Affordable Care Act (aka, ObamaCare) has deprived the US economic
recovery of full-time jobs in favor of part-time jobs (and, therefore, is a
"jobs killer"), here's a chart showing to the objective observer that
the spike in part-time jobs and the loss of full-time jobs was a result of the
recession and not the ACA. Indeed, the trend in part-time jobs has been a
decline, even as the ACA was considered in the Congress, enacted into law and
now is about to be implemented on October 1st.
So ... what is the real motivation
of those opposing the ACA, which provides the opportunity for 10s of millions
of American citizens to obtain health insurance that they otherwise may not be
able to have?
