Starting October 1st, Americans can purchase health insurance in an online marketplace as a result of President Obama’s new health care law. Our generation will have two options: buy insurance, or opt out and pay a fine. Insurance providers are worried that too many young Americans think they are “invincible”— or unlikely to get sick—and as a result, will forego insurance, raising prices for everyone else. It is therefore important for our generation to enroll to keep costs down. LIKE this post if you favor the President’s health care plan, and REBLOG if you do not.
