Poll(s): How will the Affordable Care Act affect you?

Posted by: Vanya Mehta in Leisure, Vox Populi, tags: , , , ,

Yesterday, the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act, a healthcare law requiring most Americans to pay a penalty if they fail to purchase insurance, in a historic moment for President Barack Obama’s legislative efforts. The vote was 5 to 4 with traditionally conservative Chief Justice G. John Roberts Jr. supporting four other liberal-leaning justices.

Obamacare polarizes Democrats and Republicans across the nation. Do you support the Supreme Court’s decision?

Take the second poll after the jump

The health care law allows young adults to stay on their parents plans until age 26. Do you plan on taking advantage of this provision?

    honestly, i don’t even know what else this bill does/did/will do ….

    I know I can’t afford health care, but now that affording health care is legalized, do I have to apply for a permit or something?

    can you do a post telling us?

    Thanks voxyyyy

    Point of (dis)order: it’s not a “penalty” it’s a “tax.”
