This bill if is it passed as is, will make it mandatory for everyone to have some sort of insurance or face a government fine.
The main provisions enacted by the Health Insurance Reform bill introduced in 2013 are patient protection and affordable healthcare for all. This means that no patient will be denied care.
If you mean, "why," one possible reason is that health insurance reform required health insurance companies to spend the money they receive in premiums on, um, actual health care and not excessive overhead such as inflated executive compensation. .
The "ObamaCare" health insurance reform bill does not generally provide insurance itself, but requires people to have private insurance among other changes. Insurance will almost certainly not pay for breast augmentation, regardless of the recent changes in law.
No, Not at the moment. Although the New Health care reform bill may require it soon.
In most states you have to have car insurance to drive on the road. Most mortgage companies require homeowner's insurance. Health insurance is not currently required, but you may face a fine if you refuse to buy it beginning in 2014 under the health care reform bill. Life insurance, disability insurance, etc may sometimes be required for different things, but in general, most people don't have to have them.
The health care reform bill.
Basically, yes. The insurer may not be required to cover "pre-existing conditions" for some period of time, though the health care reform bill is supposed to make some changes to that.
Car insurance and possibly health insurance if the car insurance does no cover the entire bill.
I am sure that Bill Gates does have his own insurance.
There are of course a couple of downsides to the health care reform, the main one for most people being the increased involvement of the government in people's everyday lives. Also there is the issue of the mandates that are supposed to be passed along with the rest of the health care bill that would require everyone to have some sort of health care insurance (or get fined) on the basis that it would lower prices for everyone else. Many people dislike this idea. There is of course also the cost of putting the health care plan into action.
Yes, they did.
