Sadly, this hiring boom in the health care industry will all come to an abrupt end if the Supreme Court rules against the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in June 2012. Republicans do not want the ACA to succeed and create jobs and growth for fear that President Obama may get re-elected to a second term. They would rather that Americans remain jobless and hurting than to see the recovery continue. Republican politicians are more concerned with keeping their jobs in the Congress than they are in seeing Americans find employment. This is not the Republican Party of the Reagan era. This is a very different GOP. Today we have a Republican Party of right-wing extremists that are “only” intent on obstruction and partisan politics. Their only focus is to win a political game. Just ask Senator Mitch McConnell, the Leader of Republicans in the Senate. His only focus is to make Obama a one-term President. He has no other agenda.
