Will,
I think you need to do some more research. You are already paying for the people you say you do not want to pay for, the social program called "Medicaid" has been in place for a very long time and covers a very large percent of the people you are talking about.
Was the bill perfect? Far from it! There are parts of it I like and parts of it I don't.
Allowing people with pre-existing conditions to get insurance is a good thing.
Keeping insurance companies from setting lifetime limits on coverage and canceling policies of those who get sick is a good thing.
Getting people insurance who have never had it so they can go and get their regular check ups before they find out they have a major problem is a good thing. This saves money!
Putting calories next to the menu items at chain restaurants to encourage a healthy diet is a good thing.
If this means that someone who makes a million dollars a year has to pay an extra $7500 in taxes to help pay for this. So be it. I personally have zero problem paying my extra share to help out those in need and protect those individuals who are hard working Americans that the past system screwed over.
