ong health insurance,

This is stupid on its face. The current law won't pick anyone's
health insurance. Everyone can keep what they have ot change to
anything they want. But the people who don't have health insurance
will have to buy some, any brand they want.

Nonsense. First of all there are a whole bunch of things that are going
to be required to be covered as preventive services that aren't now. As
currently written these will mean new policies and that they can't be
grandfathered in. Secondly, there are many indications that businesses
of all sizes will be jetisoning their insurance because the fines are a
lot less than the costs of insurance.
An analyst from McKinsey & Company says that something in the range
of 80 to 100 million individuals are going to change coverage categories
in the two years post-2014. They will lose their employer coverage,
move into exchanges, or go on to Medicaid. This would be an
extraordinary disruption that will cause widespread outrage.
This pretty well established by other studies.
