So are you saying that if this bill passes, all Americans will be forced to purchase health care? Or rather, if it's not struck down? Like I said, I'm not up to speed on the details of the bill.Being forced to purchase a product by the government is unconstitutional. There are some other things that are unconstitutional too, but the individual mandate part is what got it before the Supreme Court.
Wow.Yes, if the Supreme Court does not strike down the bill as unconstitutional all Americans will either have to purchase insurance or pay a fine. I read a story the other day though that said 70% of Fortune 500 companies are planning to stop offering healthcare to employees. They will just pay the penalty imposed on them because that will be less expensive than providing insurance for employees.
