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.
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.
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.
The hospital systems around here are laying off because of so many folks not paying their bill. They are already slowly going broke.

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.
