Healthcare Overhaul Could Save Money And Boost Jobs, Researchers Say

Healthcare overhaul could save money and boost jobs, researchers say

In a report to be released Friday, Harvard and USC economists say legislation being considered would slow cost increases and free up money for companies to raise wages and hire more workers. National healthcare legislation in Congress could slow the growth of medical costs, allowing employers to create 250,000 to 400,000 new jobs a year over the next decade, economists from Harvard University and USC are predicting.
