The US Council of Economic Advisors has released a report stating that slowing the growth in healthcare spending from 6% to 4.5% per year would create 500,000 jobs a year and increase annual income for a family of 4 by $2,600/year over the next decade. By covering the 46M who lack healthcare benefits, they say this coverage would improve the federal budget, allow job mobility, and increase the economic well-being of the US by $100B/year.
