The problem with that is that just about all of the jobs were lost before Obamacare passed. Since then jobs actually increased.

Increased? You hold onto that hope. When the economy first tanked MCD got very busy and did quite well as people flocked to fast-food chains with their lower prices. It makes me wonder if they are anticipating another economic downturn?

Woah, by reverse logic, if every other country that had national health care simply stopped having national health care, everyone in that country would immediately gain employment.

Which makes no sense.

You need to look at the quality of what was lost vs what is being created.

We lost plenty of white collar college type jobs and they are being replaced with service type jobs.
The BLS has a breakdown each month of jobs lost/gained.

50K McJobs are going to replace engineering, accounting, legal jobs lost ?

Other countries' national health care does not equal ObamaCare. ObamaCare is not national health care, it is a nightmare. It is my opinion that it is an impediment to hiring.

A single payer national health care would have been much better for employment.

Another impediment is the uncertainty of our government on what crap they will pull next. Changing the house helped a lot to safeguard that.

I am pro-corporation. I thought all the unemployed would be by now but they still seem to want to blame corporations. Get the government out of the way. Let them hire.
