Obama on jobs, health care

WASHINGTON -- As the unemployment rate climbs, President Barack Obama is trying to make the case that his health care overhaul would create jobs by making small business startups more affordable.

Dismissive Republicans blamed the continuing job losses on Democratic policies and said the president's health proposals won't help.

In his weekly radio and Internet video address Saturday, Obama linked one of his biggest challenges -- joblessness -- with passage of far-reaching changes to the nation's health care system.

If aspiring entrepreneurs believe they can stay insured while switching jobs, Obama said, they will start new businesses and hire workers.

I don't think the issue with starting businesses is the cost of insurance as he implies, I think the issue is more having liquid assets to be able to fund the starting of new businesses, the fear of the taxes, and being FORCED to provide insurance to employee's as a new business owner.
