Its a terrible idea. Companies will have to provide and pay for expensive government-determined health insurance. Otherwise they face fines. Which is fucking retarded. Religious organizations have to provide contraceptives and abortion induced drugs even if it violates their own belief system. I'm not even religious but they could at least have a bit of respect for them. Health care costs will increase. Higher taxes. It's all bullshit. Side: Bad
And it's going to put us further into debt and not only businesses will be forced to pay for it, we will too... or face a fine. On top of that, different people will be forced to pay different amounts, so it isn't very fair. Oh, and back to the businesses... they're only forced to pay if they have more than fifty employees, so a lot of people will be laid off. Side: Bad

I'm going to go with bad. At the conceptual level, it's not a bad idea necessarily; the concept of ensuring there is affordable health care for everyone is certainly a noble ideal to aspire to. But this has been planned and executed horribly. Such that the first word, "Affordable" can only be said in a tongue in cheek way. Side: Bad
