http://firstread.nbcnews.com/_news/2014/02/04/22572627-four-health-care-takeaways-from-the-congressional-budget-office-report
1. The law will reduce the labor supply by 2 million full-time equivalent workers in 2017 and 2.5 million in 2024
Indeed, the CBO report says that labor demand -- that is, businesses desire to hire workers because of the law -- will mostly be unchanged.
2) In 2014, 1 million fewer folks from 7 million to 6 million -- will sign up for insurance coverage in the exchanges due to the website problems.
3) The controversial risk corridors that Republicans are attacking reduce the deficit by $8 billion
4) Average health-insurance premiums are lower than expected.

Miracles do happen....... People, please reference any of your Health Care
considerations toward HAWAII ... THEY have had universal health care or
single-payer-options... where private options have provided "affordable care
for 45 years"! It is the overlooked model for what health care could be and has
been for 45 years!

The element of people being able to enjoy more or their retirement (instead of working just to have coverage) due to Obamacare features will surely not get mentioned.
