CBO said that this year's tax cuts have changed the incentives for businesses and made it less attractive to pay for insurance, meaning fewer will decide to do so. Instead, they'll choose to pay a penalty to the government, totaling $13 billion in higher fees over the next decade.
But the non-partisan agency also expects fewer people to have to pay individual penalties to the IRS than it earlier projects, because of a better method for calculating incomes that found more people will be exempt. Overall, the new health provisions are expected to cost the government $1.165 trillion over the next decade the same as last year's projection.
With other spending cuts and tax increases called for in the health law, though, CBO still says Mr. Obama's signature achievement will reduce budget deficits in the short term. During the health care debate Mr. Obama had said individuals would be able to keep their plans.

That's the same conclusion a former member of the Reagan Administration and WSJ editor presents:
"Paul Craig Roberts is a former Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury and Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal (Editorial Page)..."
Roberts republishes a very long and detailed assessment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that comes to the conclusion that "(m)any Americans will find themselves not only with a policy they can't afford, but also with one they cannot afford to use."
"Obamacare was formulated on the concept of health care as a commercial commodity and was cloaked in ideological slogans such as 'shared responsibility,' “no free riders” and 'ownership society.' These slogans dress the insurance industry’s raid on public resources in the cloak of a 'free market' health care system."
Any legitimate solution to the US health care catastrophe won't be found by "choosing" between Democrat OR Republican in the voting booth.

If we were living in a sane society, I'd expect to see criminal charges brought up on the entirety of Congress - or at the very least the jackasses who signed off on this (including the president).

Somehow, I'm not expecting many elected Republicans OR Democrats to agree.
Speaking of authoritarians and corporatists...I guess what gnaws at me in all of this is the disgusting hypocrisy from both sides of the aisle. Several of us have suggested that if McCain had won in '08 we'd have seen something very much like PPACA from the Republicans, and that seems plausible to me. And if it had gone down that way, we'd see Democrats arguing vehemently against the individual mandate, calling it out as the corporate giveaway it is. But because their guy is in charge, they give it a pass.
I don't know how anyone with any genuine convictions, left or right, can defend PPACA. Authoritarians and corporatists are the only people who can consistently defend it.
