It's bad, but better then what we have now. Atleast those who need coverage can get it. Those who have 'pre-existing conditions' can get covered. My older sister (as much as I hate her) has juvienial diabeties (found while with Kaiser). As such, even when my parents didn't have the option of Kaiser, they have paid seperately and have kept her on Kaiser. She continues to have Kaiser to this day because if she tries to go anywhere else they consider it an 'existing condition' and won't get anything covered.
It sucks to force people to get covered but it's stupid to not be covered. Because even if you don't have much money, that's when it seems something else is going to go wrong and you need the help. In southern california the uninsured are bankrupting hospitals, so much that ALOT of hospitals have now closed, meaning those with insurance are just as screwed. Alot of it has to do with illegals, and if it gets even 10% of the illegals to avoid hospitals (fear of fees and maybe deportation) then that's going to help the system out alot.
