They are low skill workers so its better for them. Then they can make more an hour and maybe have to contribute less to healthcare because of govt subsidies.

My argument would be its going to be more expensive then Congress was told.
Congress doesn't get "told" how expensive legislation is going to be. They take legislation as it is written and apply it to current law. That is the role of the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office, which was commissioned by Richard Nixon.

We'll be fine.

The market will react, and then it will correct itself, like it always does. We are currently in the gloom, but there is no doom in our future like you cynics and naysayers want to believe.
