They actually have an entire story devoted to this.

Here’s how the article starts:

The nation’s complicated healthcare overhaul is proving to be a surprising source of work: People are needed to explain the law’s provisions to consumers. In addition to the expected demand for more nurses and doctors to treat millions of newly insured patients, the federal Affordable Care Act is feeding a cottage industry in call centers.

This is our current solution to unemployment: pass a law that is so complicated, you need to hire people to explain it.

So we have lost hundreds of thousands of jobs under Obama. How many jobs will this wonderful initiative to explain ObamaCare gain us?

The law, which represents the biggest expansion of health insurance in nearly half a century, has spawned a hiring blitz by the state, major health insurers and many community groups that have to decode a lot of insurance lingo in a short amount of time to an incredibly diverse population.

A hiring BLITZ, you say!

Before it rolls out its health insurance marketplace, called Covered California, the state is hiring hundreds of people at three call centers set to open this fall when enrollment begins Oct. 1.

Hundreds!!!!!!11!1!!!1!

Bonus: it’s government work, so we get to pay for this staggering new employment.

The story also says that nonprofit groups working with the state need 20,000 “enrollers” to explain options and penalties to people, and that the “enrollers” will get $58 for each “sign-up,” whatever that means. This sounds very transitory and not very helpful to the economy as a whole — but there I go, being a Gloomy Gus again.

If we can just pass a few hundred more impenetrable and freedom-crushing laws, we’ll need an army of explainers, and unemployment will disappear! Oh, except for all the layoffs that will be caused by the laws themselves. Kinda lost in the story about the “hiring blitz” is any mention of the crushing new burdens faced by businesses, and the inevitable spike in unemployment that everybody (except L.A. Times readers) knows will occur as a result. And by “kinda lost” I mean “not mentioned at all, anywhere in the story.”
