Trumpcare will be a bigly job-killer

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

All those lies Republicans told about Obamacare—from the process of its passage (no hearings, no one knew what was in it, rushed through, jammed down America's throat) to its effects—appear to be the script they've laid out for Trumpcare. That includes the myth that Obamacare is a job-killer. Well, guess what's like to happen if Trumpcare passes.

While manufacturing employment has fallen nearly 40 percent in northeastern Ohio since 2000, the number of health care jobs in the region has jumped more than 30 percent over the same period. In Akron, the onetime rubber capital of the world, only one of the city’s 10 largest employers still makes tires. Three are hospitals.

“People who used to make deliveries to factories are now making them to hospitals,” said Samuel D. DeShazior, Akron’s deputy mayor for economic development.

Akron’s transformation is echoed in places as varied as Los Angeles, Birmingham, Ala., and Pittsburgh, along with rural areas like Iron County, Mo., where health care accounts for one-fifth of all employment. […]

Nor is the growth limited to hospitals. With help from the vast expansion of Medicaid enrollment that began three years ago, nursing homes, outpatient centers and medical labs have also grown, turning a fragmented industry into a strong political force.
