Unaffordable Health Care act creates more unemployment creates a part time economy for private sector workers

March 22, 2010 Barack Obama, Congress controlled by Nancy Pelosi, Senator Harry Reid passed the Affordable Care Act which the US Supreme Court ruled constitutional only become it was considered a tax on June 28, 2012.  Now they have to market it as a tax.  Internal Revenue Service will have access to your medical records which is none of there business.  Many private corporations are cutting back hours and many small business are shutting their doors which are displacing many workers.  The real reason unemployment has stayed over eight percent since 2007 when the market bubble crashed is because.  The president and since 2011 the Democrats controlling the US Senate have refused to make it easier for private sector business to give people jobs.  We have been in most states have public assistance that is more generous than a part time job this needs to change.  A lot of large companies are cutting their employees back to under 29 hours a week so they do not have to pay health insurance kind of like the Hawaii style economy where if they employ over 19 hours a week you have to provide health insurance.  There are also exemptions made by some senators.  The Alaska US Senators Mark Begich and Lisa Murkowski made an exemption for native non profit corporations where they do not have pay health insurance to their workers since a majority can use the free medical center call the Alaska Native Medical Center I pay for can not use.  My former employer Alaska Yellow Cab is a subsidy of Sea Lion Corporation which is operated by the Hooper Bay Native Corporation which a native non profit do not have to pay health insurance even though most employees can not use the free Alaska Native Medical Center.  That is why the Affordable Care is real called the Unaffordable Care Act and has been a jobs killer.  You have to work two or three part time jobs versus a full time job unless it is a cushion government job with over inflated union benefits.  Please tell the US Senate Republicans to vote to defund the Unaffordable Health Care act today and get this economy moving, save jobs and make public assistance less attractive by lowering the benefits to a $6 an hour making it so they have to find a job.  Put a five year limit which in 1997 the Welfare Reform Act did.  The real reason the Clinton Administration was successful is because from 1995-1998 the Republican control congress insisted on a Balanced budget and tried to pass a Balance Budget amendment which failed.  Most household have a budget why not the federal government.  Ronald Reagan was right in 1981 We do not have a revenue problem we have a spending problem.  Government is the problem not the solution to the problem.  We need to make it so small business is important again.  My father was a small businessman until he ended FM Electronics due to son being a political commentator.  Some times he would bid on a job then have to look over his shoulder to see if son had not commented on an issue.  He lost a Washington State DOT contract due to my comment on the North Bend roundabout even though he had the lowest bid.  He almost lost a Star Schools technology contract in early 1990's when I fainted in 1992 at the Education School District 101 Headquarters due to lack of sleep while working and attending Spokane Falls Community College at the timeMy instructor was not impressed. Unless you have a public sector job you do not have benefits.
