Quotes-start.png Can I really afford that paycheck? Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, two and a half million Americans will ask that question over the next decade and say "no." The Congressional Budget Office — the federal government's official number cruncher — now estimates that the ACA will cause these people to voluntarily leave the workforce or prevent them from entering it by 2024. They'll do so because it would actually be more expensive for them to draw that extra paycheck. Quotes-end.png
