To the Editor:

   The ACA ("Obamacare") is a messy half-measure addressing coverage but not healthcare per se. As such, its effects on employment are slight. Real healthcare reform will put 400,000 health insurance company employees out of work and free them to do something productive instead of shuffling papers and trying to deny patients coverage. Because everyone will have the same, federal coverage.
