2. One question I still have about this law is...
Three things i have learned are that it is a better insurance plan that will help people with long term health problems,it will be tamping down unnecessary tests and treatment, and their will be an excise tax on indoor tanning and money for abstinence programs. I think this new health care plan is good in some aspects and bad in others. You can't make everyone happy though. It is good in a way that almost everyone will be covered with insurance and i think people that need the most help with paying for their health care bills that have racked up from being in and out of doctors and hospitals will get help. I don't have any questions about this bill because i am pretty informed about it.
ReplyDelete1. (1)the new health care law requires everyone to have health careor they will face penalties.(2)Now they will take more things into consideration, like age, family, income, and location to help afford it.(3)There was 207 confirms to not pass this bill and 179 that want it passed.
ReplyDelete2. One question i have for this new law is that what will be the consiquences if you dont have health care?
three things I’ve learned from this new healthcare law are s that the law requires you to have healthcare or you will have to pay a fine, things like your income and age can suddenly impact your life with this new law, and it estimates your health care based on you income, age, and family size. One question I have is why do you have to get have to pay a fine if you don't get health insurance?
