Obamas health plan helping engineers?
(OP)
I am looking for good news from your company related to engineering jobs being saved or created by the new health insurance plan. I think the rush is over of people lining up at doctors offices for their now "free" health care. Please post the "good" aspects that will help business and keep us employed. There must be at least one. I am off looking myself.

It may actually help those starting new businesses, having one major HR expense fixed.

I think that they may have thrown a bone, with a string attached to pull it back.

This is an example of how the government handles your health care. In a nursing home, they can either buy you new equipment or employ a nurse to take care of you. It's a good thing I don't smoke. Remeber, still looking for good reasons us engineers have to look forward to.

If America wasn't still the best thing going with its relative (emphasized) freedoms and incredible opportunity, I'd be seriously looking elsewhere. As you may have guessed, I am rabidly anti-socialist, I truly believe the risk taker deserves the result of his/her efforts, whether it is years digging out of a hole or reaping the rewards. No bailouts, no handouts. Welfare used to mean that your family, your neighbors, and your church all had your back if you were going through some tough times. Now, we all get to pay for the obscenely inflated and criminally inefficient system in the name of "helping" those less fortunate, which, of course, in the end will yet again fail to accomplish. Gotta love the government for trying though, eh?
That's it for my daily vitriolic diatribe.

Once the no refusal of preexistng conditions clause kicks in you can live without insurance, pay the small fine if you're caught and if you get sick just get insurance.
Too bad you can't do that with car insurance.

As far as the OPs question goes though, it's difficult to see how any health policy could directly save or increase the number of engineering jobs, albeit the nations health would improve meaning more people would live healthier lives and require more goods and hence require more people to produce them.

To be honest I am already scared when it's time to hire our first employee as there is just too much red tape that makes hiring someone so much of a hassle. We may be getting to that point shortly.
