CNN's Candy Crowley is giving cover to the Republican claim that businesses will not hire due to “uncertainty” over the implementation of the health care law, which has now been endorsed by all three branches of the federal government. In reality, the only uncertainty surrounding the law is being created by Republican threats to repeal it.

On State of the Union, Crowley aided National Republican Senatorial Committee Vice Chair Carly Fiorina's claim that uncertainty over Obamacare would continue to prevent companies from hiring. Crowley said, “And this has been part of the Republican mantra was that big business doesn't know where tax reform is going, they don't know how much new regulation is going to cost them, what kind of infrastructure they'll have to put into their own -- so they're kind of sitting on all this money and not hiring.”

By contrast, a June 28 Associated Press article noted that “the health industry -- and company stocks -- still face uncertainty, at least until the November's presidential election. Republicans want to scrap the law.”

Furthermore, economists and small business owners say a lack of demand is holding back hiring, not uncertainty.
