other folk have said the same thing--i don't think the bill goes anywhere near far enough. i think free access to basic health care is a fundamental human right. i am not necessarily convinced that the uk/canadian model is anything like the best alternative---the french system seems to me better.
the republicans bear a very significant responsibility for every last shortcoming in the bill so it's a bit ironic to see all this hand waving and complaining from more conservative folk about the bill when it's their representatives who obstructed what there was on the table, watered it down, weakened it, fought it, etc.
so i dont know what you folk wanted.
but personally, i wanted a much stronger, clearly formulated type of universal health coverage.
but this is better than nothing, and certainly an improvement over what has been in effect up to this point.
