Now I get it! He meant government jobs!
According to The Hill,
"The House Democrats' healthcare reform bill calls for the creation of new government agencies, trust funds, and advisory committees.
A quick review of the legislation shows that it calls for two new government agencies, three trust funds, three advisory panels, two task forces, a research center, a medical device registry, an ombudsman and many pilot and demonstration programs.
House Republicans are criticizing the legislation for a variety of reasons, including how it would increase the government's role in healthcare.
In a press release on Wednesday, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) claimed the bill would create 31 new federal programs.
Democrats claim that the new federal entities are needed to ensure proper oversight of the nation's healthcare system.
To help administer the revamped healthcare system, the bill would create a Health Choices Administration. The legislation would also set up three trust funds for retirees, comparative effectiveness research and a new "health insurance exchange."
