Congressman Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) offered the following statement after the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) released a report earlier today that found Obamacare will reduce the labor force participation by 2.5 million workers.

"This morning's CBO report comes as no surprise. We have long known that Obamacare will drastically decrease the labor force, and this new report not only confirms that, but also multiplies CBO's previous estimate. It's not rocket science that the President's healthcare law is harmful to the economy, workforce, and our nation's crippling debt."
