Republicans are messing with a major source of American jobs

[n2doc]

President Trump and congressional Republicans are taking aim at one of the strongest and most consistent sources of job growth in the U.S. economy -- health care.

The numbers tell the story.

Some 1.1 million jobs have been added in health care since 2014, when the Obamacare insurance exchanges started increasing access to care.

That's roughly as many jobs as were added at factories and construction sites combined over the same period, according to Labor Department statistics.

"Obamacare was a de facto jobs program, whether it was intended that way or not," said Sam Glick, a health care expert and partner at consulting firm Oliver Wyman.
