The Congressional Budget Office says 2.5 million people will choose to work less due to the Affordable Care Act. Republicans see it as a devastating report. Democrats describe it as a triumphant end to job lock. House Speaker John Boehner said he does not expect to pass an overhaul of immigration laws. Philip Seymour Hoffman's tragic death.

Obama's healthcare law will reduce American workforce participation by the equivalent of 2 million full-time jobs in 2017, the CBO said on Tuesday, prompting Republicans to paint the law as bad medicine for the U.S. economy.
