At a recent House hearing, Congressional Budget Office Director Doug Elmendorf admitted to California Rep. John Campbell that the president’s health care plan will cost the nation 800,000 jobs over the next decade. Why will it cost that many jobs? What portions of the law are to blame? How does this impact the ongoing debate over Obamacare? Will House Republicans succeed in de-funding the health plan? And are they ready to stand their ground in removing funding no matter what Democrats and the president do in response? We discuss it all with Rep. Campbell, a member of the House Budget Committee.
