(12,335 posts)32. Follow these guidelines and mix in the ACA and watch the American economy boom!
Thousands of small businesses will be created by decoupling employment from access to health insurance. And adding millions to the health system will create new opportunities for jobs.
Health care is about a fifth of our GDP.
Couple with the infrastructure bank, and America will experience another economic boom as healthcare is remade and the country's infrastructure upgraded.
But standing in the way is the GOP house majority. I'm hopeful about next year since the majority will be at a slimmer margin.
