Dems Latest Excuse For CBO Report: Obamacare “Will Enable More Than 2 Million Workers To Escape Job-Lock”…
Democrats are trying a new tack in the battle over a reduction in jobs due to Obamacare, saying the losses are actually the result of people not being required to work anymore when they don’t want to — a concept labeled “job lock.”
“Yesterday, the CBO projected that by 2021 the Affordable Care Act will enable more than 2 million workers to escape ‘job-lock’ – the situation where workers remain tied to employers for access to health insurance benefits,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) office said in a news release.
The release continued: “In addition to being just plain wrong on the facts of the CBO report, the GOP seems to have forgotten that ending ‘job-lock’ has been an avowed Republican goal for years – even a highlight in the Republican Sen. John McCain’s 2008 Presidential race.”
