Republican scare tactics on 'job killing' health care reform falling apart


There were no death panels, as Sarah Palin claimed. And no, it is not a ‘job killing’ bill, as House speaker, John Boehner claims. In reality, health care reform will actually create jobs in the health care industry. Congressional Budget Office data finds that Obama care will even reduce the federal deficit. So a year’s worth of GOP scare tactics about health care reform turns out to be nothing but unfounded, partisan babbling.

The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obama care, is gaining support from all except the new Republican Congress, who are planning a vote to repeal the new health care laws.

Politico reports health insurance industry insiders are coming around to the changes and see Obama care as an opportunity.

According to Mother Jones, “Such realities could undercut Republican claims that federal health reform will massively disrupt the insurance and health-care marketplace, with industry-choking regulations that bankrupt insurers.”

In a recent Gallup poll, only 30% of Americans strongly oppose “Obama care.”
