"but all things being even, if they had a choice once this bill was passed I think they would still chose to remain uninsured."

Sad, but true. I'm one of those uninsured people, and I view this bill -- given the mandates and other details we know of now -- as a detriment to my situation, not a benefit. I realize it's not all about me, nor the millions like me, but they should have been able to come up with something that benefited -- even slightly -- the majority, rather than benefiting some and hurting others. I think it's pretty evenly split.
