uf get a mammogram, your kids get vaccinations, you get a general physical, you won't pay extra for any of that under this plan. still, there's a lot of money involved in this and the government wants to help people who may have trouble paying for it because a lot of people who don't have insurance don't necessarily have a lot of cash for it, so if you make $46,000 a year or less as an individual or $90,000 as a family of four, they're going to give you a refund to help pay for this. nonetheless, no matter how you get there, everyone is going to be involved. it doesn't even matter if you live in one of the dozens of states that have said they want nothing to do with obama care. you're still going to be part of this program. the federal government will administer the market place in your state instead of the state, that's simply how it's going to work. but you will have to get involved because if you don't pick a plan, if you don't get involved, you're going to be fined by the federal government. that's how this is going to work. so, if you're insured in this country, the time is upon yo
