Many (esp. those who currently choose to be uninsured, and esp. if the changes raise costs as seems likely), will just pay the penalty.

$695 or less will be less than the cost of the insurance in most cases.

You go several years without really needing the insurance (assuming your not already old or chronically ill), then when you develop some condition you buy the insurance.

Well that's true if they have to sell it to you at a "normal" price. If they can jack up the price for you by a lot than this scheme falls apart, but if they can do that there is little or not possible benefit from the requirement for coverage of people with pre-existing conditions. "Sure I'll cover you, that will be $1mil a year please..."
