I am a wife and a mother of three grown sons. I live in New York and am an equestrian. Most of my free time is spent riding and caring for my horses now that my sons are out of the house.

I give down to earth advice, as I tell it like I see it...and I've seen alot.

Ok so I heard Obama's speech tonight, but I missed what he was saying about people who work for a small business/any business that does not offer health insurance...what kind of coverage is he offering for people like me that are healthy but are not having it offered by their jobs...and want a reasonable monthly cost. Thank you. (link)
You will be required, by law, to have heathcare coverage. If you don't make enough money to pay for healthcare, then the gov't. will put you on the public option. It will be up to the gov't to decide if they think you make enough money or not. It will not be your choice.

Businesses will be forced to offer healthcare to their workers. If they don't, they will be subject to heavy fines. Most companies will just offer the public option because it will be cheaper.

Anything that is run by the government cannot be reasonably priced because of the huge bureaucracy that is, inevitably, created. It may start off cheap, but, in the end, it will cost every taxpayer, dearly. Any country that already has public healthcare has substandard care.

ok...I don't think you are required as an individual...but I'll read up on it more. Thank you.
