Mish hammers Obamacare

Mish writes on Global Economic Trends and disects the recent Fed polling data on Obamacare costs. Here he abstracts the net cost to employment dynamics with the new law.


CategoryNet Percentage
Decrease Employment15.2
Increase Part-Time Workers16.7
Increase Outsourcing10.7
Increase prices28.8
Raise Healthcare Premiums 85.3
Raise Healthcare Deductibles91.2
Raise Out of Pocket Maximums73.6
Increase Copays61.8
Reduce Medical Coverage38.3
Decrease Network Choices26.5

Bad? Well is stops the employment gains for the rest of the year, so labor hiring has reached equilibrium.
