Does any body know what is going on with Obama and the whole health insurance thing?

Okay so I live in California. I am young and can't afford health insurance rite now. Does any one know if Obama is going to follow through with this whole health insurance thing. If so when is it supposed to kick in? And how will it work exactly? Will every body have free health insurance? Some one please explain this becuase I am realy confused.

The plan was never to give free insurance it is to require everyone to buy it. There will be subsidies available to lower income people to help them pay for it. There is already a program for low income people though. It's called Medicaid. It has been all over the tv, newspapers and internet forever now. You must not pay much attention to what's going on around you. Obama has been flying all over the country trying to get support to get the bill passed even though more than 50% of Americans don't support it. Congress is still arguing over the bill and doesn't seem to be heading towards a compromise that will pass anytime soon. With the estimated price tag of the bill (the government always seems to underestimate) there is no way to pay for it.
