Kathleen Sebelius: No job loss under Obamacare By: Lindsay Kalter February 18, 2014 07:40 AM EST

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius says there is “absolutely no evidence” that the Affordable Care Act will drive down employment, despite a report from the Congressional Budget Office released Feb. 4 predicting fewer people would be working.

“There is absolutely no evidence, and every economist will tell you this, that there is any job-loss related to the Affordable Care Act,” Sebelius told reporters in Orlando, Fla., on Monday. “Part-time physicians are actually down since 2010, not up. The number of full-time workers continues to increase. I know that’s a popular myth that continues to be repeated but it just is not accurate.”

The CBO report said the health care law will cause Americans to cut their work hours, equating to 2 million fewer jobs in 2017.

I honestly doubt she has to start her own business, it would mean something very different then...

Yes. Either CBO or HHS is wrong and flawed. Find out which one and then shut it down.

I'm guessing HHS.

Just think. We’re paying her salary so she can stay out of touch with reality.

The number of full-time workers continues to increase.

It must be great to have a job where facts don't matter.

Bunk.

We have lost millions of American jobs, and nobody is doing one single thing to bring them back.

Nobody.

Not one democrat. Not one Republican.

Bring back American jobs.

That there is no Evidence is due to Issa and Cummings,
who have sold America down the tubes.

Their hated names and those in the US Congress
will go into history as the enablers of corruption
and even al Qaeda, against the American people,
at levels far, far beyond all belief.

Just watch. In a couple of months, they’ll be touting how Obamacare is responsible for CREATING 1 million jobs, or some nonsense like that.

I expect they will trot out some insane, fake, manipulated numbers to prop up the unemployment rate and make Obamacare, the jobs numbers and the economy look far better then it actually is right before the midterms.

The Media will hail Obama and the Democrats as the saviors of our nation and the low information voters will go right along with it.

Sorta sets a new bar for bold-face liars, doesn't it?

If Sebelius ever told the truth, her head would explode.

Just like everyone else in the current administration.

My wife was let go recently at her job, rumors locally say they indeed had to get under a certain level of employees or they had to cough up health insurance, and my wife has MS, was the head of her department in the deli prep area, so she was obviously too expensive of a liability for them.

Continuing to lie when AMERICA already has proof that all that your government EVER does is LIE... is only damning you further.

Well, now that they’ve made it illegal to even say that Obamacare reduces full time employment,

of course the stats will show “no job loss”.

It’s a new lie every week to distract and pump a depressed Dem base. Standard pinko maneuver. Meanwhile, the GOP is dumping on its base instead of engaging the lying liars.

By the time we get to November the entrenched Dem/MSM narrative will so far from truth the GOP won’t be able to do a thing about it.

Yesterday they were touting that the “stimulus” created 8-1/2 million jobs. Aren’t there something like 12-1/2 million less people working now than in 2008?

That’s positively soviet of them, to forbid employers citing ocare when reducing headcount, and then turning around and claim with a straight face that ocare isn’t causing employers to reduce headcount.
