6. I'm glad you replied, because it's obvious you have fallen prey to the propaganda

First off, they will not be forced to purchase healthcare they cannot afford. If people can barely feed themselves, then they will be provided healthcare at no expense to them. It's not true that "folks who lack the ability to pay" will be required some form of payment. You need to talk specific dollars here.

w.r.t. your current healthcare vs. healthcare on the plan, you will not have a 10k deductible. You will be able to participate in the public option. Again, depending on your income (which you don't state) will say how much you will need to provide for a premium. Given that you can't afford $3k / year, I'm guessing you won't be expected to pay much.

The CBO has verified the affordability of people to pay on the scaled premium based on relative income

You have used no facts about the Healthcare bill, only what you think it will do, which leads me to believe you are simply repeating something you've been told. Please try to do some research and if you have a specific concern, then show how the bill specifically causes you that concern.
