I even quoted it for you in my original post. I've been saying this since virtually day 1.
"this is, for the most part, a fight the bill ducked, which is part of the reason that even its most committed defenders don’t think we’ll be paying anything like what they’re paying in other countries anytime soon."

This bill was basically written BY the health insurance lobbyists. There is little to address actual costs. Go back a hundred pages or whatever if you want the long answer.
