Voters were promised that they would get more health care for less money.
In reality those who already have insurance will be getting less health
care for more money and those without insurance will be /required/ to /buy/
it or face penalties collected by the IRS. If you think about it, is it any
surprise that just about everyone involved feels they were lied to? That's
before we get into the rationing aspect of the new system.
uhm please fill me in here if I am wrong but isn't it such that those
who can afford it must buy it whereas those who can't get some sort of
free plan?
thanks

You are wrong about that. The free plan already existed, it's called
Medicaid. Beyond that there is no free in new system. Insurance is
already a highly regulated industry. Since I live there and have a
fairly intimate knowledge of it I'll cite Connecticut as an example.
The insurance commission just approved a roughly 20% rate increase for
two of the largest private insurers that is directly attributable to the
new federal mandates,
The "Affordable Health Care for America Act", is the size of the
Metropolitan Phone Book for the City of New York. Hell most of the
legislators who voted for it had no idea what was in it, most still
don't, but one thing it doesn't actually seem to contain is any
provision for affordable health care.
