Still dodging the fact that the vast majority of the uninsured are not high risk as you claim (with no data) but simply dont have access to affordadle insurance w/o that employer subsidy that nearly 200 million of their fellow citizens receive.

The bill creates a larger pool, Insurance Exchange, to drive down the cost to small businesses and their employees and through which these folks are likely to contribute more than they take out.
