Can someone please spell out what the new health care bill entails?
Everyone is telling me conflicting things about what the health care bill which Congress passed says, like who is going to provide the health care (government/ private insurance), who is going to pay for the health care (gov’t via taxpayers/ individuals), how it is going to work (public option/ not).
Can someone please link me to a non-biased website that just spells out what all this new bill includes and what didn’t pass. I don’t want anyone’s interpretation of it or predictions of what will happen, just a straight synopsis of what the passed bill actually says.
(Make sure it is the final one which BOTH houses passed)
Thanks!
is your google broken?

The penalty of not having health insurance for the first year (July 1 – December 31) is to forego the personal tax exemption. After January 1 to penalty is 50% of the cost of minimum insurance premium per month. You do have the option of appeal if you can demonstrate that you could not afford the insurance.
You can get insurance throught the state Medicaid office (Mass Health) if you meet the income requirements. Here is the website: http://www.massresources.org/pages.cfm?contentID=35&pageID=13&Subpages=yes

I just turned 18 and may need surgery but do not have insurance. How long can I wait?
I only work part-time so I don’t have health insurance. Seeing a doctor isn’t an option for me!
I have had a grayish green discharge coming from my minge for about 2 years now but will have to wait about 5 or 6 years before I can see a doctor. I am taking nursing classes at UCLA and work part-time at Starbucks.
I am tired of people saying, “you need to go see a doctor” because this will not be an option until I finish school and can get a full-time job. So NO, I will not be seeing a doctor for several years. I think that most 18 year olds don’t have insurance and don’t have a doctor.
Do you know of a herbal remedy?
I would question your statement “Seeing a doctor isn’t an option
for me”.
After you’ve questioned that thought of yours for a moment
(seriously!) check the website below. Maybe get some ideas?
