Study: Obamacare Will Reduce Full-Time Jobs 
--------------------------------------------


 
A new Congressional study says President Obama's healthcare law will
likely result in less Americans working full-time jobs. The
Congressional Budget Office says around two million workers will choose
to work fewer hours because of the expanded access to health insurance
under the new law. Republicans have seized on the report to bolster
their claims the healthcare law will hurt the econony. But Democrats say
the report shows the law will give workers greater choices in freeing
them up to avoid full-time jobs just for the sake of obtaining coverage.
