Was the Heath Care Bill good or bad?

I think the Health Care Bill passage will end up hrting the U.S. ecomony. That's because now since they are giving free health care to people who didn't have it, it raises the question who is going to pay for it? The answer is the American people. The government thinks that they should raise taxes on the rich to help pay for the deficit. This is totally wrong because then there will be no strive to become a doctor or a lawyer because you know the government will almost tax you to death. This is not right because they spend countless years in college to get a degree and go into an occupation that they could make a good amount of money in. Secondly average american families will also end up paying for it they have a household income of 200,000 dollars or more by paying higher income tax rates. Also 43% do not pay income tax because they do not qualify, in which the wealthy and middle class will have to pay more to make up for the 43% that do not pay. Finally the Health Care bill is a form of government control. Thats because they are starting to employers are forced to pay for their employees health care, or pay a fine of half of the insurence cost of your employees. Now since employers cannot afford to pay for their employees anymore those people must now go onto a government layed out plan for little or no money. Thats because that person could not afford other healthcare because the premiums are getting too expensive, so everyone will soo be resorting to those kind of plans if things don't turn around. These are just a few reasons why I think the Health Care Bill is not too good.
