So we should just ignore those 30+ million because it might strain the system?
And there are numerous incentives in the bill to address it.

It's also change in that you can't increase the number of people covered by medical care without increasing total cost. I've yet to see a government program actually reduce the cost of anything.

More of the "government program" rhetoric....it is more people covered by PRIVATE insurance...spreading the cost.

This is also a material change. You can't increase the cost of medical care by eliminating exclusions for pre-existing conditions and eliminating caps and then just assume that insurance companies are going to make it up out of their profits.

That is why there is a mandate along with a vastly larger pool to spread the costs.
