Why 2014? Insurance exchanges will be set up in 2014 to help the uninsured get coverage. Why not 2010? Are re-election worries the reason?

----------------------------------------------
Uninsured individuals will be fined $750 per year.

Which means there will still be uninsured. When did the uninsured stop being objects of compassion that we need reform for and become bad people who need to be fined?

-------------------------------------------------
The bill will result in 31 million additional Americans getting insurance

Thats all the uninsured according to Obama. But you also said the uninsured will get fined $750 a year. How is the conflict explained - will everyone be insured or will there still be uninsured who now have to pay a fine for the crime of being uninsured?

------------------------------------------------

and will cost the government $848 billion over 10 years but this amount is more than covered by new taxes, resulting in a net reduction of the federal debt by $130 billion over this period.

So that comes to $978 billion in new taxes.
