The provisions of the bill are going to force many companies out of the health care insurance business and drive up costs for the rest.
Under this plan, if you can afford good health insurance, otherwise known as a "Cadillac Plan", the cost of that plan will be taxed as though it were income.
You have not only been sold the Brooklyn Bridge but also sold down the river; which term dates from the times of slavery when captured peoples were indeed "sold down the river".
Welcome to slavery!
Just sayin'.

Yeah, that's the point... get people insurance that can't otherwise have it. So roughly 45 million people without insurance and something like 60 million people yearly with gaps in insurance, making premiums go up, etc - is a small percentage?
Nothing in the bill will force my company out of any healthcare it has and if more people are paying in, the costs would go down, not up. Like it does in every Country in the world that does this.
Taxed? It's the same way as now.
So I'm trading slave owners is what you're saying? Because without question the current insurance/health setup is Slavery that I have to pay for as well.
