I dunno, having read around the subject a little it seems to me to be aimed at stopping the insurance companies from mugging you at every turn?
im open to being educated however...
Also if your worried about costs in time of a recession, America actually pays a more per person than the UK (and we are FAR from perfect), and that includes the millions who dont have coverage in the US.
Lets just say im still highly skeptical of attacks on these plans as they seem to be working in ordinary peoples favour? Perhaps this can be put down to cultural differences between us and you?

There's such a thing as responsible capitalism where senior figures and big business pay more than 15-20% tax (doesn't Mitt Romney pay something like 14% on his earnings lol?)
Those with more should pay more. Hard work and enterprise should be rewarded, but not at the expense of the most vulnerable.

FYI capital gains is paid on risky investments of your own money. Money that you have already paid tax on at some point. It is not guaranteed income like a salary or an hourly wage. Many times that part (or all) of that investment is lost. For instance 4 out of 5 start up businesses in this country fail.
