Reply #40: Actually, many, if not most of the uninsured won't qualify for welfare (as you put it)

The income cap for Medicaid will go to 150% of the poverty level, which is really low. Other people who are currently uninsured may qualify for subsidies of their insurance premiums, but they will still be on the hook for their out of pocket expenses. The income limits for premium subsidies are also out of touch with reality.

If you want to talk about this bill increasing welfare it's the corporate welfare program it creates by handing tax money over to the for profit vultures who make their money by denying us access to health care.
