The Supreme Court is expected to rule this week on whether key provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act are constitutional. This law ensures that all Americans can access the care they need at an affordable price.
Obamacare prevents health insurance companies from charging too much or denying coverage to those who pay for insurance but are suffering from painful and long-term “pre-existing conditions” such as heart disease or cancer. It allows people to pay into the health insurance system so that in case of emergency, they don’t have to tap into taxpayers’ wallets to pay for their recovery. And it levels the insurance playing field so that those who thought they couldn’t afford care now don’t have to choose between buying groceries and paying medical bills. Overturning Obamacare would leave insurance companies in charge of whether our fellow citizens can get the care they need or leave millions of Americans vulnerable to poverty or bankruptcy.

Misleading. Try "Seventy-Three Percent of American Youth WILL Now Have Insurance Due to Health Care Law"..... Because If They Don't Purchase It They Will Be Penalized."
Good. They need to purchase it. I am a now 26 year old who has only just gotten a checkup after almost 10 years because I was too afraid of the costs of anything. Even a physical costs too much. If they're "forced" to buy it as you put, then they're that more likely to actually use it. This may not only help find something early, but will teach these youth the importance of taking care of themselves.
