OT: Anyone hear the NPR interview about the person getting dependant care coverage from parents

[blahblahblah]

I like how our national plan to fix the problem of crappy healthcare insurance is to force everyone to purchase crappy healthcare insurance. What a country!

Again, where does “force” come into the equation? Lots of under-25s will be joining voluntarily because they will be able to get coverage much cheaper on their parents’ plan than if they went shopping for it on their own. The cost barrier has been lowered for millions of people, yet somehow this is “forcing” them into the system? They don’t have to sign up if they don’t want do. How is this a mandate?

You are right AFX, no part of THIS PROVISION, of the health care plan forces participation. THe provision that forces participation doesnt take effect until 2014. Assuming we are talking some sort of longer term than 2010-2013, you are forced as a 22 year old to get insurance when you were previously not.

WHAT HAPPENS IN 2014

*State health insurance exchanges for small businesses and individuals open.

*Most people will be required to obtain health insurance coverage or pay a fine if they don’t. Healthcare tax credits become available to help people with incomes up to 400 percent of poverty purchase coverage on the exchange.

*Health plans no longer can exclude people from coverage due to pre-existing conditions
