Chances are that there will be many pages added just before the end, many things added, many things changed or deleted on the eve of the vote and then a vote called for with no time to read it. That's the way the Obama administration has done the Stimulus Package and other items. In commerce it is call "Bait and Switch."
The promised transparency has yet to be seen (irony intended).
The proponents of the bill are saying that the bill will drive down the overall cost-curve of health care in the U. S. They indicate they will do this by eliminating fraud in current federal programs and increasing competition in the private insurance market. Both of these are highly unlikely, given government's track record historically.
The only way to put more people in a system as huge as the one proposed and keep costs down is to ration health care.

EXCEPT
for the fact that everyone else has managed to have universal healthcare without the need to recycle pensioners.
You pay the most per head for healthcare in the world.
Yet you stll leave vast swathes of your population "outside the net"
Because of this you look really really weird to the rest of the world
Can you please just adopt universal healthcare, like everybody else, and stop whinning???
