Except now, it is against the law not to have insurance.Personally I think people should have catastrophic health insurance and just their bill themselves when they go in for a cold or something trivial like every one goes to doctors for now days. That way should they get cancer or something they would be covered.

Me too. One of the things that cracked me up before this even passed congress was that nobody seemed to understand that if the government says you must acquire a thing, it will then necessitate what the government considers “compliance” with their edict. And that is a bigger can of worms (by several orders of magnitude) than simply saying you have to have a thing.

It’s why so many people are ticked. They had insurance, and he said they could keep it. Except it didn’t meet the FedGov’s minimum requirements. And here is the comical part: It may have been BETTER, but missed a piece. e.g. does a 60 year old couple need pregnancy insurance or free birth control? Why would they even get such insurance?
