Obama has been working on the health care reform bill for quite sometime. With this bill insurance companies cannot deny people insurance due to preexisting conditions. The bill was signed into a law on Tuesday. After hours of long debated his bill was passed. "It's been easy at times to doubt our ability to do such a big thing, such a complicated thing, to wonder if there are limits to what we as a people can still achieve," Obama said. The overall $940 billion plan is projected to extend insurance coverage to roughly 32 million additional Americans.
I think that this can be a good thing but it could also turn into a bad thing because some people may not be able to afford to have insurance even though they are required to at age 18. However if you are planning on staying in school you are allowed to stay on your parents plan until your 26 if need be. This is a big thing and we'll have to see what happens and how it turns out.
