Then-Speaker Pelosi Promised Their Government Takeover Of Healthcare Would Create Jobs:

“It’s about jobs. In its life, it [the health bill] will create 4 million jobs — 400,000 jobs almost immediately.” (“Pelosi: Health Reform Will Create 400,000 Jobs ‘Almost Immediately,'” Real Clear Politics, 2/25/12)

A New Poll Shows That Hospitals Overwhelmingly Anticipate Falling Revenues From ObamaCare Cuts That Would “Take A Toll” On Nurses And Other Hospital Workers Most:

“According to the poll, 55 percent of hospitals and health systems said they anticipate a decline in revenue as a result of the law, while only 12 percent said they expect an increase… The poll was conducted by HighRoads, a Massachusetts-based healthcare benefits management firm, and management consulting firm Sullivan, Cotter and Associates in Detroit. Executives from both groups warned that financial repercussions from the healthcare law could take a toll on hospital employees.” (Elise Viebeck, “Poll: Majority of hospital execs expect health law to shrink revenues,” The Hill‘s Healthwatch Blog, 4/24/12)
