Today, it has been announced that the Supreme Court has upheld Obama's healthcare plan where it basically makes everyone in the U.S. get health insurance.

It's basic goal is so that everyone gets health care and that you're not in so much debt if you ever end up in an ER.

Under this plan, the good things are that:

1. You can get health insurance even with a pre-existing condition. That means that if you contracted HIV when you didn't have health insurance, when this law is enforced, you will be able to get health insurance coverage because presently, health insurance companies won't cover diseases or conditions you have or contracted before you applied for health insurance.

2. Health insurance will be affordable. Essentially, this plan is going to make health insurance affordable so that it's possible to get health insurance. Even if you make a small amount of money, you can still afford health insurance with government help.

3. If you are under 26; you can be put in your parents's health benefits through their job. So even when you're old enough to rent a car at 25, you will still be covered by your parents's health insurance through the company they work at (if the company has health insurance).

Here are a couple bad things though about this bill.

1. If you don't get health insurance, you will be issued a penalty fee on your taxes that you must pay. If you don't pay this penalty fee, you will be sent to prison for tax evasion. So this bill actually FORCES you to get health insurance.

2. The money seems to be going towards private companies instead of health care. So I guess anyone working in the higher ups or executive positions of a health insurance company like Cigna or Blue Cross will be rolling in the dough

As long as the health insurance will be affordable, then I'm fine with it. If you don't have a job now; I suggest getting one right now with health benefits. Otherwise, save up whatever money you can to be able to buy health insurance.

You do have two years since this goes in effect in 2014. Again, this will go into effect in 2014.
