This is the reason I've found it impossible to discuss the bill with most of my peers. I don't give a damn who supports the bill and who doesn't, and because many uninsured get health care when they really need it anyway in emergency rooms we are in roundabout ways paying for the uninsured as we speak. This is a way of specifying how we do that. But the "how" in this case is the biggest problem I have with the bill. It is not at all going to help those of us who already have insurance and I don't believe for a minute those that will be covered in the future will get quality healthcare just because the government is covering it. Putting such a high burden on people who make a "large" salary is just as injust as denying healthcare to those who can't afford it. Of course I don't have the credentials to know what the best way is to solve this problem from an economic standpoint, but this can't be it.
On the plus side, keeping insurance companies from denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions, and eliminating the caps on pay outs are surely good for everyone.
It would be nice if people could stop looking at this in a "point for Obama" manner and could look at the bill itself instead of who was for it and who was against it. It's going to affect us all in some way, so there's no point in pretending it's a game.
