Close to 700,000 people should expect to join the ranks of the unemployed if "ObamaCare" becomes law. If you feel vulnerable, craft a sign like the one shown.
Close to 700,000 people should expect to join the ranks of the unemployed if President Barack Obama's so-called health care reform plan (a.k.a., "ObamaCare") becomes law, according to a study released Wednesday by Americans for Tax Reform and the Beacon Hill Institute. If you feel vulnerable, I suggest you prepare for unemployment now by crafting a sign like the one shown above.
Maybe but it will take 3 times or more the number of health care workers to fulfill the requirement.
That’s great if your training is in health care. It’s not for everyone.
Employees will be made a liability to employers. Can employees generate the revenue necessary to sustain the business? Can the employer stay in business when they increase the prices to cover the increased costs mandated by the government?
How many businesses will take the risk as employer for a significant decrease in revenue?
I say the next business boom will be in a clearing house for contract workers.
Whaddaya mean PREPARE? I can’t get much more UNemployed than I already am! LOL
And it is becoming more and more obvious that the idiots in Washington don't give a damn about us. I am expecting Michelle Osama to make a statement very soon to the effect that if you cannot afford bread then eat cake.
I may be wrong but I don't think health care will become the employment boom industry that some think it will be. And even if they do start hiring I doubt that pay will be all that great - especially considering the stress of the type of work health care workers do.
Only if they have paying customers to sell to. Big "if" if 700,000 more jobs are lost as the article predicts.
I work for a defense contractor on an Army post. Our contract is up in December, but they may cancel before then. The contract is unlikely in the extreme to be renewed.
Heck they are cutting out cleaning the buildings, and have cut back on the frequency of cleaning the latrines. The post will no longer cut the grass in most areas, because they have no money for the groundskeepers.
The units will have to take up the slack, at the expense of training time, or other mission oriented stuff. In our units case, there is no way our senior NCOs, DA civilians or officers are going to be out their cutting the grass or cleaning the toilets with their toothbrushes. So the money to have that done (less the toothbrushes) will come out of mission or mission support funding, some of which is helping to fund our contract.
Who wants to work with or treat either those who have an entitlement attitude or with those who now have to wait weeks or months to see their physician? Sounds like pure misery for a job. Which means you'll be left with exhausted overworked staff or the Nurse Ratched types who love to bully the patients.
No hospitals will not be hiring more people. A friend of mine works at one of the local hospitlas and they have already been told that if healthcare passes every dept will have to take cuts because they won’t be able to afford all of them.
I really do resemble that remark.
If the health care industry (government) hires more health care workers every hospital will be like walking into a V.A. Hospital. 90% minorities working there. And most not qualified.
Look for an underground economy to start.
16,500 new jobs—it’s a jobs bill.
Employers won’t be able to afford the additional health care charges mandated by 0bamscare.
The hospital systems around here are laying off because of so many folks not paying their bill. They are already slowly going broke.
“I may be wrong but I don’t think health care will become the employment boom industry that some think it will be.”
That’s your government dollars at work. Turning a growth industry into an expense that will destroy access to health care, bankrupt the USA, and provide pressure to outsource costliest treatments to places like India etc.
Your government ruining and destroying one of the few remaining economic engines that could help improve the economy.
A long hot summer with a mass of seething unemployed workers is a dangerous thing for government!
