It was lefties who argued the ACA will create $1T surpluses..

btw, if you have millions of people reducing their hours, and thus the amount of taxes they pay, so they can get subsidies, what impact do you think this will have on the deficit?

While you support the creation of policies which add less demand for labor, allowing them to profit even more by paying people less.

CBO | The Budget and Economic Outlook: 2014 to 2024
Yes, and who knows how things will actually play out, since the president arbitrarily picks and chooses which parts of the law to enforce and which parts to ignore or defer?

BREAKING NEWS: Admin may let people keep alleged "junk" policies for three more years. This is crazy. The flames are licking up the sides of the wreckage of the ACA. I think it would be great if the administration consulted an actuary about their half-assed notions. Admin said to be eyeing insurance extension

I think I figured out a way to force him on Obamacare. All we need to do is hold him accountable for his actions.

Do the Dems enjoy seeing that ?
These are people that don't have employer provided insurance else they couldn't sign up for Obamacare so your point is MOOT.
"Durrrr..."

Your point makes no sense what so ever. Keep trying to anally push that square peg into a round hole though...

Seriously, if you don't see the downsides of relying on employer provided health insurance in terms of this discussion, there's no point in continuing with you.

Funny that this is what the RW chooses to pick out of the CBO Report. I guess it was easier to misrepresent the ACA impact into 30sec ads. After all, the GOP continues to disrespect voters, in their firm belief 30sec to be the extent of an American's ability to hold a thought.

Maseman, there are no downsides now.
Obamacare removed that chain.

You can go get whatever job you want now and don't need to even consider whether or not they offer health insurance.

Employer provided insurance is no longer an issue regarding employment.

Am I missing something here ?

Regarding the OP's false interpretation and how it ties into this argument, apparently so.
