That's the irony of Obamacare: The very people most critical of it (the insurance lobby) will benefit the most, and its most vocal supporters (supposed far left liberals) get the exact opposite of what they say they want. It's not universal healthcare or socialized medicine, it's corporate welfare for the last industry on Earth that needs it. But Obama and the Dems can go to the midterms declaring victory, and that's really all that matters, right? 
deja vu of Medicare Part D?
Money talks and BS goes to Washington.

They don't, or at least not in this bill. That'll have to be a new bill.

To the extent the framers intended an elitist legislature, they erred, IMHO.

We can't pay for the subsidies; even after the tax hike they increase debt in the short term.
