Report fuels Obamacare debate with estimates of job loss
By Tom Curry, NBC News
February 4, 2014

The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office gave new fuel to the debate over the Affordable Care Act Tuesday with its estimate that the law will lead to the eventual loss of about 2.5 million full-time jobs.

Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers Jason Furman reacts to a Congressional Budget Office report on the estimated impact of the Affordable Care Act on the U.S. labor market.  In its annual budget and economic forecast the agency also said that the ACA or Obamacare will reduce the total number of hours worked by about 1.5 percent to 2 percent from 2017 to 2024.
