But I'm getting off track, most of the things you mentioned are great for the general population, like the fact that you can't be dropped and that insurance companies can no longer cap out, of course this means higher taxes but isin't that a fair trade off for (what seems like) better health care?

Well, there is nothing in this bill, and no one is even implying, that healthcare in the US is going to go up because of this bill.

The best people are hoping for, is it covers more people, and does not go down. The problem is, most people in this country have great healthcare, and great experiences when they need to use it. The people who are tragic cases, are not the norm.

So no, none of this is good for the "general population". It's why over 70% of Americans don't want this bill passed. 

Ah I see
