That is true but Gnomon stated that Ma and Pa businesses and his lawn guy could now hire employees based on the presumption that health insurance was going to become more affordable. Insinuating the law was going to spur new hirings. I am just trying to work through that.
Don't even try to work through that logic. Gnomon is confused. Health insurance will become more available, but that does not mean it will be any less expensive. Administrative costs will go up for employers and insurers, and enforcement costs will go up for the government (that means more, higher taxes). The lawn guy will still be the lawn guy, and he will still have difficulty finding new employees who actually want to work.
