The deal is, after it was all said and done, it would cost less in the long run even when everyone was insured.

yea, you would get the funds to pay for it by taxing people, and I think the magic number is in the ballpark of 18%... given that fact, do you honestly think it's a good idea? I don't know about you, but I would rather keep 18% more of my income and handle my own health care....
you are making an assumption that it would lower health care costs... but what makes you believe that? did the changes Obama put in place so far lower health care costs AT ALL? (I don't mean of course that some people get lower cost insurance because it's getting subsidized, but I mean actual lower cost)
