In its first three years, President Obama's healthcare law has imposed more than $30 billion in costs and 111 million hours of paperwork burdens, according to a new study from the American Action Forum.

And the full impact of the Obamacare regulations don’t even show up until next year.
I’m sure according to Democrat logic, this will create jobs.
Dems will conclude this is a true job creator. 111 million hours divided by 2080 is over 53,000 jobs! They’ll ignore the millions of jobs it will destroy.
