There is no requirement Medicare/Social Security and now Obamacare be spent on the public welfare. It is just more General Fund money for the Federal Government to be used as they please. If history is any guide, it will likely be used for war at the worst and/or corporate giveaways at the best.
I mention Bismarck, the father of the modern welfare state, because this was precisely his purpose. He was jealous of the loyalty shown between family members and wanted that loyalty transferred to to the State for the purposes of the State. The same is true of the US Welfare/Warfare State.
Obviously health care is becoming less affordable in the US. The bill was written by the Insurance Companies. Personal income is falling, unemployment is rising and health care costs are still increasing at double digit rates.
The bill has done nothing to increase access to healthcare. All it has done is increase economic uncertainty and prevent economic recovery. Access to healthcare will be decreasing in the US for decades to come:
