Don't you get this? She can work thirty hours a week and get healthcare for free or helathcare will cost her $2k a month. Now she doesn't have to work and she can stay at home. She's not going to go on unemployment or any kind of aid what so ever.

There are millions of people in the same exact circumstances.

I have a friend of mine who is married with three kids. His wife and his son both have medical life long / life threatening medical issues that are considered pre-existing. His wife requires treatment every month. Their healthcare costs them 60% of their combined income every month. With Obamacare they will be able to switch healthcare plans for the first time in over a decade, and their healthcare costs will go down by fifty percent. His wife will no longer have to work two crappy jobs to make ends meet.

People like this who work ONLY because they need healthcare will no longer need to work. They aren't going to loose their jobs or go on employment; Not everyone needs to work. This will free up two million jobs, which will further reduce unemployment without any costs to us taxpayers.

This is win win for everyone, and you are trying to turn this into a bad thing. It's not.
Right... i get it.

"There is no job loss"...
"not everyone needs work"...
"this will "free up" 2 million jobs"

All while the economy is in the worst recession ever.
It can only help that less people are working.
That's exactly how macro economics works.
That's how an economy thrives.
Makes perfect sense.
