Is President Obama’s health care reform law constitutional? The Supreme Court has heard legal arguments and will make a decision in June. The plan requires all Americans to be insured. It will become illegal to not have health insurance. The defenders of the law say that in order to keep healthcare insurance affordable, all people, including (low-risk) young and healthy people need to pay, especially because they never know when they may become ill or get in an accident. Currently, hospitals must provide emergency service to everyone, even if they don’t have insurance and the cost of providing service to the uninsured has been paid by the insured. The biggest question the Supreme Court must decide is: Can the government force citizens to buy a private product (health insurance)?
Fair or unfair? What’s your argument?
