Ayotte: CBO Report Highlights Devastating Economic Impact of Obamacare

Statement

Date: Feb. 4, 2014
Location: Washington, DC

U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) released the following statement regarding findings released today by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) predicting that Obamacare will result in 2.5 million fewer full-time equivalent workers over the next decade:

"CBO's findings highlight the devastating impact Obamacare will have on our economy. Business owners in New Hampshire have already told me the health care law would make it harder for them to grow, and now CBO is predicting it will result in 2.5 million fewer full-time workers over the next decade. We need to go back to the drawing board to find solutions that bring down health care costs without causing workers to leave the workforce or work fewer hours."
