Health Insurance Reform Fighting Unemployment, Pt II

Turns out the Obama administration agrees with me:

As the unemployment rate climbs, President Barack Obama is trying to make the case that his health care overhaul would create jobs by making small business startups more affordable.

...

If aspiring entrepreneurs believe they can stay insured while switching jobs, Obama said, they will start new businesses and hire workers.

...

Obama said he has met people "who've got a good idea and the expertise and determination to build it into a thriving business. But many can't take that leap because they can't afford to lose the health insurance they have at their current job."

Of course Republicans attempted to shoot him down; they're really putting all their chips on sabotaging the country for the sake of making Obama look bad. They fight his smart, reasonable policies and cheered when his Olympic bid failed. They are quickly falling into Green Party levels of irrelevance.
