Before the 2010 elections Republicans claimed Americans didn’t want to Hear about Health Care they wanted to hear about how the President and Democrats were going to create jobs. Republicans could care less that like jobs there were millions of Americans who couldn’t afford to go with out Health Care in the mean time while jobs were being created . What is a job if you aren’t a live to work one, or how far in debt do you have to become because of Health Care. There are those Americans that have jobs but are going bust, bankrupt and homeless because of the cost of Health Care.
***By the way putting patients records on databases so they can be access by hospitals in a timely manner so that patients can be diagnose and get treated quickly creates jobs.
Also there is the American Recovery Act and Reinvestment Act created to save and created jobs. With most jobs it takes time to recover millions of jobs, the President creating a new health care Law helped to address in the mean time while many more jobs were being created the other growing needs and issues that were also putting a lot of people in debt like health care.
At least the Bills the President and Democrats worked on were progressive. Republican are too busy trying to move the ball backwards rather than forward. Republicans said they had a so-call Pledge to America, well as soon as that was published it was long forgotten, just like the website they put up asking Americans for ideals.
In the Huffington Post Article: In Turnabout, Democrats Allege GOP Dropped The Ball On Job Focus
It says the following:
Democrats scoff at this notion, and they’re hounding Republicans to show how they can put more people to work.”It’s astonishing to me how tone-deaf the Republicans have been in the first weeks of the session,” said Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass. “They’ve talked about everything but jobs.”Few were surprised when House Republicans moved quickly and voted to overturn the law, but the Democratic-controlled Senate will block that effort. Heads turned when Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, presented the next item on the agenda: writing into law a perennially renewed ban on federal dollars for abortion, and to specify that it applies to health plans. The abortion proposal “reflects the will of the people,” said Boehner. “It’s one of our highest legislative priorities.”
When reporters asked why jobs weren’t the main focus, Boehner said it was vital to vote against the health law because “it’s destroying jobs in America.”
He and his fellow Republicans say the law could wipe out 650,000 jobs. Democrats dispute that claim. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office put the law’s effect on supply and demand for labor as small. At best, House Republicans seem to be sending mixed or diluted messages about job creation while they promote social issues that appeal to conservative activists. Examples include limiting jury awards in medical malpractice cases and expanding the District of Columbia’s school voucher program. Democrats are pouncing. Each day, they echo the taught that Republicans used in the November elections: You’re not doing enough to create jobs. “Republicans waging losing war on health care while Democrats focus on jobs,” said a headline Friday from the office of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. He told reporters that “we still recognize that our number one issue is jobs.” He said he was preparing a small-business innovation bill “that would also create jobs.” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., sends daily “talking points” to colleagues with suggestions such as “another day, another opportunity lost for Republicans to work with Democrats on job creation.”
