I think there's an alternate narrative that your costs are going up anyway and that long-term the reforms will work to slow the rate of increase while also covering the 40M or so presently uninsured. Remember that most of the bill hasn't even been phased in.
Now, I'm not sure I agree with this story in whole, but the existing trajectory was clearly not sustainable either.
The Health Care Bill won't magically fix the problem, the problem is huge, but it will probably drive the real change necessary to make lasting improvements more real. If this means shifting control of Congress to force bi-partisan reforms then so be it.
