Healthcare Mandate PASSED

[Regulus]

Possibly, but if it really is minor I don't see what the issue is.

[Woeler]

The only problem I see is that the ones that have minor illness will either not be seen or they will have to pay for it themselves.

nope, as soon as the state handles your healthcare you can call the doctor at anytime and make an appointment without any further costs.

So it's the equivilant of England's nhs service? If so, I can't believe you guys didn't already have this...

I'm worried about taxes/prices going up. Thing is, my family still cant even afford to take me to the doctor to have my knee looked at (Which I dislocated about a week ago and it looks like it may be slightly fractured or something weird.) My brother was in a biking accident a few weeks ago. He wasn't seriously hurt but he still had to go into the emergency room to get a cut bandaged up. It really wasn't as serious as people thought it was. HUGE bill came out of that. I don't really know much about this stuff but I do know that if the prices go up any more, lets just say getting dinner on the table and getting me to a doctors office (Which should have happened last week) is gonna get a lot harder than it already is. Not to mention future doctor visits and bills to pay and such.

LOL I'm not expert on this stuff and I may have misunderstood some of this stuff so if I got something wrong please correct me.

Do you know if your family has medical insurance?

I think we do, but it doesn't seem to be helping much =/ I don't know all the details but the reason I cant go in is because the bills re just to high. I actually have an appointment on Monday, but the bill will be so high that it's just going to destroy us right now.

I'm really glad they did this at least something obama has done will be remembered.

What about approving for Osama bin Laden to be killed? Obama will be remembered for that. Hmm.

It looks like Obama and the Democrats/liberals have won this round

And yet it was a conservative judge that decided in favor... perhaps it's not so cut and dry as you make it out to be.

So, what? John Roberts' vote in favor pretty much handed the victory to President Obama. It may not be the way Obama wants his health care law, but it's still a victory for the Democratic party.

[Azdgari]

It means that while it was a victory for Obama's campaign, it was not something entirely of the democrats' doing. It was, in a sense, made bipartisan that a conservative justice voted in its favor. In any event, it certainly helped dispel the growing notion that the supreme court was little more than political activism.

@Arani, I'm sorry to hear that. Not entirely sure about your situation, but I'm, well, pretty confident that if you're in a situation where you aren't able, financially, to get medical treatment, Obamacare would be helping you out big time.

[Arani]

^ Well that's good to hear because we really need it. =/

If we pay for car insurance and home owner's insurance, why not for health?
