Health Law To Empower Workers To Work Less

The new health law is projected to reduce the total number of hours Americans work by an estimated 2.3 million full-time jobs, an "unexpectedly higher impact" than previously calculated, according to the latest CBO report out on Tuesday.

The analysis by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office says a key factor is the controversial new health care law now allows those working to tell their employers they decline from working forty or even thirty hours a week because they now have health insurance and simply don't feel the need to put in a full day's work.

"Claims that the Affordable Care Act hurts jobs are simply belied by the facts in the CBO report," the White House stated. "Individuals will be empowered to make choices about their own lives and livelihoods and have the opportunity to pursue their dreams."

Meanwhile, outside of non-partisan Washington DC budget analysis offices, employment policies at a majority of American companies still haven't changed to allow employees such liberties as to decide how many hours they feel are all they need to work in order to maintain employment.

Skeptics of the new health law speculate that there may be externalities unexamined by the CBO report driving the new higher-than-expected loss in employment.

Others wonder how by denying the basic human rights of freedom of association and of contract, as the Affordable Health Care Act denies, and by substituting those fundamental institutions of civilization with reliance on politicians and party politics to provide them their needs this is empowering them to "make choices about their own lives and livelihoods and have the opportunity to pursue their dreams."

There surely is a contradiction between keeping a full-time job and keeping it real...
