Repealing Health Care Is a Job Killer

Repealing Health Care Is a Job Killer
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), left, and House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) take part in a news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, January 6, 2011, to discuss repealing the new health care reform law.

The imminent effort in the House of Representatives to repeal health care reform is a major step in the wrong direction if promoting economic recovery is job one.The new House leadership proposes to repeal the new health care reform law formally known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 and the subsequent Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. That combined legislation guarantees health insurance coverage to all Americans and promotes significant cost reductions in public and private medical care programs. It is the culmination of 70 years of effort by Democrats and Republicans alike.
