Pro

Proponents of the health care legislation have called it a "historic victory" and "landmark legislation" that reforms the US health care system by reining in health care costs, making health care available and affordable to millions, and protecting consumers from unfair insurance practices.

Con

Opponents have called it a "socialist" and "unconstitutional" government takeover of the health care system that will increase the cost of health care and decrease the quality. They say the law will cost more than $2.5 trillion over 10 years and drive the US deeper into debt.
