The gov't. Won't get after you if you don't purchase but not having insurance is at your own risk.

Angie, they are taking homeopathy away in England. The skeptics in England don't want to pay less for homeopathy; they don't want to pay ANYTHING for homeopathy.

Thanks for the good information. So what happens if I don't get any insurance?

Here's the thing. I currently pay zero for insurance. My insurance is staying healthy with paleo-indicated diet, fermented foods, homeopathy, etc. etc. etc. I already pay for my health insurance. Now some idiots want me to pay for other people's health care because they are too irresponsible to take care of themselves like me. I could understand that, except that these people who I have to pay for now put me and my wife (to her face) down for eating salads, and these people who laughed at her were disease care workers. I really can't afford to pay ANY money out of my pocket. ANY money will be too much, even if I needed disease care insurance.

I am a conservative, but I also prefer the single payer plan. The current Obama system and the previous FDA-Medical-Pharma "plan" are so messed up with rules and regulations and paper work and paper shufflers that a single payer plan would be better. But I would prefer that the FDA all be arrested and that the medical profession stop being given strong preference over other healing modalities, and I use the word 'healing' in regard to allopathic medicine with extreme reservation.

Angie, you should be learning a lesson with what is going on in England. When there is a single payer plan, then the government will twitch and homeopathy and other complementary healing systems go away. Yes, single payer is preferred over ObamaCare, but freedom is even better.

You don't have to purchase the insurance, but it is a good idea to be covered. Don't be fooled by right-wing websites. You have from October 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014 to get coverage. There is a good article on about.com with links to your state's healthcare exchange the price is based on your income and your needs. If you make about $100,000/year and live in California, it will cost you about $400/ month. Compared to an individual plan that costs $1,400 that is a good rate. If you are in the actor's union, their plan will cost you about $150/month but you may have to purchase supplemental insurance.

There are other ways to get good healthcare coverage than the exchanges but it is one of many alternatives if you don't have insurance and need it.

Personally, I prefer a single payer public option. That's the way they do it in Europe and Japan, bit this is a step in that direction, ultimately.

Since alternative medicine generally tends to be a lot more cost effective, it will catch on with hospitals and insurance providers the way it is popular in countries with socialized medicine.

this is not an argument and don’t know why you would see it that way.
you made a statement of belief, not fact. if you have a fact to back up
your statement, please share it so we will all be equally informed.
