The Republicans are including in their "new" health care reform bill many of the very same things that are ALREADY in the present bill. They are
counting on the fact that most Americans haven't bothered to find out what is really in the bill and are prone to the hysteria that is thrown at it
by the right. For example, they are touting a "reform" that will allow people to buy insurance across state lines. THAT IS ALREADY IN THERE!
Below is a link outlining some of the major changes in health care law instituted yesterday:

Before you can scream about what you haven't got, read what you have.
BTW: The reasoning behind the mandate that everyone must buy health insurance is the fact that the more people that are in any given insurance pool,
the less expensive each individual policy would be. It is a measure that would lower the cost of health insurance for everyone. This mandate is in
effect in several other industrialized nations, like Japan. The Japanese are very satisfied with their health care coverage and delivery.
