On the positive side, the first "uninsurable children" provisions kicked in July 1st, and this directly affects dozens of families I personally know whose children with pre-existing conditions were not only uninsurable, but made the entire family uninsurable, even if the family wanted a plan that didn't include the diagnosed kid.
There's still a lot of "bad things may happen" predictions out there, and some of them may come true, but right now I see actual working families who have been financially devastated by medical bills for years (or simply unable to afford treatment at all,) who are now getting medical coverage as a direct result of this bill.
