Health care costs is the number one biggest debated topic for reform. Some say the costs will go down (after partially going up to get things moving) while other argue costs will just continuously increase after insuring more people. There is also a small number that believe costs and Medicare will operate the same after reform as it operates now- inefficient with lack of quality.
Most agree that we need to reform cost before reforming other quality issues in health care such as prevention or medical errors; however, no one can agree how it will all pan out once reform is passed.
Personally I think we should just let the experts figure it all out. I am not an economist, nor are the majority of politicians or Americans for that matter, so we should be concerned (obviously) but giving our opinions just confuse the topic more.
