Apparently you've been hitting the medicinal bong a tad too much. Do you have any idea what is in the bill? If so, you know more than any of the folks who voted for it--- it was passed without review.
And don't you think it odd that while some democrats voted against it, not a single republican voted in the affirmative? I think that odd, given that it represents such a sweeping, profound and impacting piece of legislation/boondoggle, on par with Social Security, Civil Rights Act and etc.. One would think that such a bold and far-reaching act of government would be more consensual. For it to be voted in on a Sunday and pass only as a result of opportunistic party bullying is, in my opinion, cause for great alarm. Thankfully, we still have the somewhat operational courts left.

Our constitution (you
are American, right?) informs our citizenry of the limited powers which we have bestowed upon the governing bodies. "General welfare" was not intended to mean what it has been since twisted into in the ensuing years.
You may as well be asking "why is loving your spouse evil?" We did not empower the government to enforce charity, love or any other fruit of a healthy spiritual life. Doing so brings out just the opposite. Wisely, our founding fathers left the government small enough and weak enough for its citizens to remain in control of their own lives, not the other way around.
Unfortunately, in our demands for security (false though it may be), we have opted to give that power back to the government. The results thus far have been disastrous, but it looks as though our previous failures were merely drops in the bucket of our own demise.
