Won't this HCR bill create jobs in the health insurance industry?

[bluestateguy]

It would seem to me that if they are getting 32 million new customers, largely subsidized by the government, that in due time they would need to hire more employees to handle the caseload.

Am I just imagining things?

1. Been thinking about getting certified in a medical billing and coding course

then I realized, this is something they can off shore.

3. may'be we can change that

Haven't heard to much about the nafta highway lately(you know Bush's Mexico to kansas road)maybe we can do the same thing to the off shore departure of our jobs!

6. They get tax credits for hiring in US...

I don't know where you live, but here in Chicago there is even free training for this... they even give you carfare!!

Check out the jobs centers in your area.

4. Nancy Pelosi guaranteed that it would create over 400,000 jobs "almost immediately".

"In its life,” Pelosi asserted, reform “will create 4 million jobs, 400,000 jobs almost immediately."

I'm not sure in what industry though.

7. Logically...

A lot of people who can't afford health care soon will be able to get it.

That means more people getting health care.

That will require more people to provide it.

8. There's money for school and loan forgiveness

in the bill. Also money to expand school because there aren't enough in this country to meet the demand.

9. Wonderful. Just what we need. Why don't we hire them to dig holes and fill them in again?

That would be a lot more useful than peddling substandard products for people who stand between you and your doctor.

10. Hmm.

Lots more jobs for claims deniers? :shrug:
