When the creation of business start-ups and new opportunities is bad: Blame Obamacare!

Fox News featured the following doom and gloom story of conservative outrage over all of the new jobs and investor windfalls we're seeing as the Affordable Care Act, ObamaCare, rolls out.

"Amid all of the problems surrounding the roll out of ObamaCare..." the Fox News anchor warns, we now we have a whole new set of winners who stand to make a profit. Wow, nasty stuff isn't it? 

This hilarious video shows the reporter trying, and failing, to sound unbiased over the new jobs created due to ObamaCare. Especially when asked leading questions by the anchor. Think the same thing wouldn't happen under an entirely private "buyer beware" system pushed by Dumb Ron Johnson and Paul Ryan? 



Republicans have a thing against business success from industries they don’t support. I started noticing this movement on a statewide level in Wisconsin, when Scott Walker’s legislative foot soldiers managed to kill thousands of new jobs building a high speed rail system. It would have created a regional business climate tying Milwaukee to Chicago; to Madison; to Minneapolis. Now they’re reversing themselves with plans to expand rail from Milwaukee to Chicago with state taxpayer money, instead of using federal dollars negotiated by the former Democratic Governor.

They want to limit wind turbines construction, they want to run from health care reform, embryonic research…the list is a long one.

Now, lobbyists are bad. See what horrors await in the new health care reform economy:
The early big winners of the president’s signature law include investors, lawyers, consultants and purveyors of new technology.

The health care sector of stocks in the S&P 500 has increased in value by 50 percent.  Gilead Sciences, a California-based drug maker with 5,000 workers, has seen its stock price explode by 157 percent in the last three and a half years. Health insurers Cigna, Aetna and United Health have each seen healthy gains since President Obama signed the reform measure. Those companies as well as hospital operators Tenet Healthcare and Health Management Associates have seen stock gains far above the S&P's overall 16.9 percent jump. On a smaller scale, lawyers with expertise understanding ObamaCare are winners, too.
Oh no, a new re-energized economy is emerging. It’s all so confusing. Stop it please:
Arthur Tacchino says he's fortunate to have stumbled into a job asking him to become an ObamaCare expert … he's now taken his intricate knowledge of the law to the private sector, where he's part of a small team selling software programs to companies needing help managing the new law’s red tape.
Outrageous.
