Drop in Full-Time Work
As we all know, Obama Health Care Plan was officially signed into bill starting 2010. Obama Care is a health care reform proposed by President Obama stating that individuals need to purchase some types of insurance that cover their visit to doctors. This reform helps reduce wasteful spending in healthcare right now. However, to some Congressional budget experts, President Obama’s plan will affect the rate of labor in the US. Based on their prediction, in 2024, there will be a reduction of approximately 2.5 million full-time jobs. The main factor of this reduction is employers choose not to hire additional workers.
Even
though, this health plan seems to help the people, it still carries its own
disadvantage. If people choose to obtain a health plan through Obama Care,
their employers don’t have to guarantee them a health plan. In another word,
people don’t have to work much in order to obtain some types of coverage for
themselves and their families. Instead
of following the rules in the workplace to work full-time in order for an
employee to get coverage, they can work less but still able to get help through the new Obama Care. This issue would raise a little concern for
the rate of labor in the US in the future.
