Clearly, I've read more of the bill than you. I have to admit that when you use vagaries like "a lot of it", it sounds like the wealthy are going to be supporting the rest of us. In typical Spence fashion though, you don't provide any real numbers because you don't know them. The wealthy will only be paying a higher tax on Medicare. If you read the bill, you'd know that.

Do you know anything about the mandates in the bill that could raise the price of premiums? Maybe you wouldn't mind having a plan that requires you to have coverage for infertility treatments or wigs. When the government mandates that a plan can only legally be sold in a state if it has certain mandates, it's effectively forcing people to pay more for their coverage.
