2. Here's the reasons

given in the article:
1. People Will Be Getting Checks ....
2. The Richest Americans Are Going to Pay More Taxes
3. Insurers' Overhead – and Profit Margins -- Are Limited
4. Much Ado About the Mandate
... According to the Congressional Budget Office, just 1 percent of the population will pay the penalty, which maxes out at 1 percent of one's income.
5. And Nobody Ever Talks About the Employer Mandate
Starting in 2014, companies with 50 or more full-time workers (two part-timers count as one full-timer for this purpose) will have to pay penalties if they don't cover their employees' health insurance.
6. Shaves the Deficit
7. Chicks Will Dig This
... beginning in 2014, insurers won't be able to charge women higher premiums than men.
8. New Dollars for Community Health Centers
9. Essential Benefits
10. It's Not So Easy to Repeal
