Obama Care! (in Off-topic)

Please explain to me all the key points of this plan. I want to fully understand it inside and out. I'm sure it's going to play a key role in the next election. :)

You could go read the bill, quite a bit of it is quite readable. Then for those points you don't understand, you could do research on them. The only problem with that is the bill is gigantic. So, it depends on how much you want to know. Although, this would probably be the most unbias information you would get, as any information you get from someone else will probably have a spin on it, no matter how small that spin is.

HR 3200

I believe this is the bill, it's 1000+ pages, so better get at it :P.

Also, I found this fact check link about the bill if you want to read it, they're usually pretty un-biased with there info, but remember to take everything with a grain of salt.

If we start at "not willing to so much as Google on your own", it seems unfair to think you will get to "read, analyzed and drew appropriate conclusions on the entirety of both pieces of legislation" any time prior to the next election.

So, start at Wikipedia's "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act" page and proceed to the "Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010" page.

Further research, should you be so inclined, is readily available via the External Links, Further Reading, See Also, and References sections of both pages.

Ahh they freaking changed numbers on me, that was the first one that didn't pass, these are the right ones:

HR 3590

HR 4872

The first one is 1000+ pages, but the other one is only a little over 100. So, have fun.

You likely will also want to speak to your personal physician as this law will effect the way he will care for you in the future.

Also, you current insurer, speak to them about whether or not you current insurance will suffice for the public mandate. If you currently don't have insurance, I'd recommend looking into how much it will cost you as well.

As a family in AZ it will cost me at least 800 a month for min Obamacare coverage. About 1/3 for individuals. Right now.
