It's kind of hard to predict the long-term effects of a bill that isn't even finished yet. It sounds like there is some stuff they need to fix, but if the initial stimulus of the plan would lead to 800,000 new jobs by 2020, then losing 700,000 jobs in the healthcare field, isn't that still a gain of 100,000?
I don't know why they don't just offer catastrophic insurance to everyone, then people can just pay out of pocket for routine stuff so prices drop.
No, it's going to be a net -700,000. So +800 then a 1.5 drop off after that.
