Republican Claims on Health Care Law Disputed by FactCheck.Org

Republican Claims on Health Care Law Disputed by FactCheck.Org: From the RedTape Blog: "
FactCheck.org published an article that says Republican claims that the new health care law is 'job-killing' is disingenuous and that the law will have only a minimal impact on jobs.


FactCheck.org is a nonpartisan, nonprofit project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, which seeks to 'reduce the level of deception and confusion in U.S. politics.'


According to the article, House Republicans, in their report, 'Obamacare: A Budget-Busting, Job-Killing Health Care Law', misrepresent what the Congressional Budget Office has said about the law and also misrepresent a study that projects a 1.6 million job loss because of health care reform.
