Center for American Progress: New Jobs Through Better Health Care

Health Care Reform Could Boost Employment by 250,000 to 400,000 a Year this Decade. This paper will demonstrate the potential impact of health care reform on employment growth in the new decade, examining two recent studies and then combing their estimates of potential employment growth. In the analysis that follows, we combine these two studies to show that health care reform could increase the number of jobs in the United States by about 250,000 to 400,000 per year over the coming decade.
