Will someone please read the f**king manual. The restrictions on the health insurance industry kick in in 6 months. The compulsory bit is in 2014, tax on so called Caddilac plans not until2018. If you are at or below 400% of the poverty line you get some aid in paying.

We will not likely see any change so we will still be paying whatever Medicare B charges, currently $96.40 each per month for our two flu shots. Blue Cross/Blue Shields Care first about $4800 each per year. I forget what the disaster part costs.

And you can blame all this on the American penchant for, as Churchill noted "Ultimately doing the right thing after you have tried every conceivable alternative first." slightly paraphrased and not an exact quote.
