Actually the numbers sound pretty good to me as to who get's insured compared to who wasn't insured before.

The 20 million or so "left out" is largely comprised of illegal aliens. If passed, this should reach most of the US legal population, but not all, some will be left out. Far less than are left out now, ya gotta start somewhere!

The actual cost is a much more troubling calculation, but at least there are provisions to address it. Taxes, cut's, etc. Better than it all going straight to the deficit with no hope of paying for it at all.

Of course the expected savings and collectible taxes are largely a "best guess" when you carry it out to 10 years or so. Two or three years maybe, but 10? Heck that far out has about the same odd's as rolling dice in Vegas. Maybe we'll get lucky?
