Is the recovery being driven by increased entrepreneurship thanks to ACA?

the ACA shits on the self-employed, I thought.

honestly don't know, seen people say it

With that demolished, could some of the recovery be attributed to prospective business owners (who previously were in job lock due to PE conditions), setting up their own services/businesses?

With what demolished?

lack of health insurance fears.

Well, the part that says you can't deny due to PE conditions is in effect.

It was impossible to be a potential entrepreneur with a PE condition before the reforms, due to the horrifying risk.

I like you as a poster, but very few things in this world grind my gears more than this term.

Lots of oil and gas jobs, especially new industrial construction and expansion because of cheap natural gas is I think the key driver.

If OP is seeking an answer to the question posed in the thread title, they should probably look at the evidence on whether entrepreneurship has accelerated, and discuss that.

In your first sentence you say the number one fear was health insurance cost fears(which would be on the employer ). When I asked for clarification you said lack of insurance fears(which concerns the employee)...... Which one is it?

Do you want to have a serious conversation about this or is this a sarcasm thread?

Because then what would be the metrics you consider relevant to showing success?

Self reported Narratives of business owners?
Information from small business loans applicants?
Entrepreneurial trade pubs?

I personally think there will be a huge amount of growth with people who are no longer shackled to jobs bc they literally couldn't buy insurance even if they wanted to.

It's just an anecdotal story, but one of the best program manager/ architect (it) I ever met was stuck in a job at big company in a mind-numbing position. His company didn't flex a lot and he had spina biffida so there were a lot of sick days - doctors appointments that he had and could never really make it up the ladder (and I think prejudice). But he bought his insurance outright last year, turned in his notice and started his own consulting firm. He easily makes much much more on his own now and can flex like he wants without living in fear of losing his benefits.

And he's super conservative but voted for Obama both times bc of the aca.
