Nobody is being FORCED to buy health insurance..what the administration seems to not get about ACA

[Bill USA]

18. people of modest means R subsidized. If things are that tough, sounds like you could get medicaid.

The ACA does not go into full effect until 2014. IF you need health care before then you can go to the Emergency room at a near-by hospital. But be advised unless you are in pretty serious trouble your wait time to get attention could be considerable. In large cities, if you go to an emergency room without a life threatening condition you probably will get over whatever was bothering you before you are seen by a doctor or nurse.

IN 2014 the ACA goes into full effect and, based on your attested financial situation, you probably will be able to get subsidized and then can afford health care which now you can only dream of.

You are hardly alone though. Many people of consdirable means are finding they can't afford health care (insurance) either. And without the ACA going into effect many (millions) more would have been dropping their insurance as private insurance premiums would have gone beyond many people's ability to afford them. Without the ACA many millions more of us would have been showing up at emergency rooms for health care. Not really a workable solution ... and extremely expensive too. That's why the ACA was necessary.
