just a heads up Obamacare isnt insurance its a new law here in the USA, the actual name of the law is the Patient Protection and affordable care act.

this new ...law....says all Americans must have basic health insurance either by signing up with a private insurance (blue cross blue shield and other private insurance providers ) program or state insurance (medicaid\medicare)program. the law also states what insurance providers must do. basically spells out the rights and responsibilities of patients and of insurance companies.

this is not insurance that covers medical bills and mental health bills. it doesnt cover any medical or mental health treatment like therapy or meds. its just the law now here in the USA that every american must obtain basic health insurance. (think of this like the ....law... that says you have to not drink or drive, and like the new.... law ....that says that its now legal in all 50 states for LGBT to marry..)

there are many options for following this law just like an adult has many option on how to follow the law of dont drink and drive.

a person obtains insurance by signing up with an insurance provider at the website named after the law obamacare.gov. on this website are many different insurance companies that are profiling their insurance plans.. (think of it like going to the mall where you have many different stores in one place) these insurance companies are not called obamacare. they are blue cross blue shield, medicaid, medicare, cobra and other state and private insurance companies. its like going shopping for what you want. you find the plan that best fits you, then you enroll in your chosen plan. again these insurance companies are not called obama care. they are the same things you can get by looking in your phone book under social services, and insurance. the only difference is that the president had a website built where all the insurance plans are in one place like going shopping in a mall. you can sign up online on the nationwide website or you can visit the ones nearest you at these insurance companies own buildings\agencies. if you dont like the plan you have just talk with your insurance representative or your social services worker and they can help you get the most out of your existing plans or make changes to your insurance plans depending upon whats available in your locations.
