Congressional Testimony On Obamacare

This story is from the Weekly Standard Blog.  Another promise of Obamacare has been broken--the bill will not create jobs--it will cause unemployment.  This fact was made clear during Congressional testimony yesterday by Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Director Doug Elmendorf.  The testimony went as follows:

Chairman [Paul] Ryan: "[I]t's been argued...that the new health care law will create jobs and increase labor force participation. But if I recall from your analysis, it was quite the opposite. Is that not the case?"

Director [Douglas] Elmendorf : "Yes."...

[...]

Rep. [John] Campbell: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, we'll -- and Dr. Elmendorf -- and we'll continue this conversation right now. First on health care, before I get to -- before I get to broader issues, you just mentioned that you believe -- or that in your estimate, that the health care law would reduce the labor used in the economy by about 1/2 of 1 percent, given that, I believe you say, there's 160 million full-time people working in '20-'21.  That means that, in your estimation, the health care law would reduce employment by 800,000 in '20-'21. Is that correct? 

Director Elmendorf: Yes. The way I would put it is that we do estimate, as you said, that...employment will be about 160 million by the end of the decade.  Half a percent of that is 800,000.

How many broken promises will it take before this awful law is repealed?
