They quit their jobs, thanks to health-care law

By Sandhya Somashekhar, WashPost, Published: February 8

Count Polly Lower among those who quit their jobs because of the health-care law.

It happened in September, when her boss abruptly changed her job description. She went from doing payroll, which she liked, to working on her boss’s schedule, which she loathed. At another time, she might have had to grit her teeth and accept the new position because she needed the health benefits.

But with the health-care law soon to take effect, she simply resigned — and hasn’t looked back.

“It was wonderful. It was very freeing,” said Lower, 56, of Bourbon, Ind., who is now babysitting her 5-year-old granddaughter full time. With the help of federal subsidies that kicked in Jan. 1, she is paying less than $500 a month for health coverage for herself and her husband.

Wow! Is this success? Is this really progress? If a person does not like their job they should find a different job. Instead, 'thanks to health-are law', success is now defined as becoming a burden to the taxpayers. The end is near if those on the left side of the aisle consider this progress.
