Affordable Care Act Repeal Would Have Immediate Consequences

President Obama ​

is "confident"

the Supreme Court will rule that his health care law is constitutional, but ​

heated questioning by conservative justices

at last week's hearings leaves uncertain the fate of not only the individual mandate but also the entire law.

But for some, the Affordable Care Act without the mandate looks a lot better than no law at all.[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia, Century, Times, serif]Many health insurance plans are now subject to new rules that require them to cover recommended preventive services without charging a co-payment. As a result, consumers pay nothing for services like routine screenings, vaccines, counseling, flu shots and well-baby and well-child visits from birth to age 21. [/FONT]

Under the new law, insurance companies cannot deny coverage or limit benefits to children under age 19 because of a pre-existing condition or disability. Starting in 2014, people of all ages with pre-existing conditions will be protected.

If the insurance mandate is struck down, insurance premiums will most certainly skyrocket -- as the other key issue, not subject to scrutiny, is that pre-existing conditions will be covered. You can't have one without the other.

If anyone who pleases can wait until they are seriously ill to buy insurance, that right there is a recipe for disaster. You won't want to open your bill for your monthly premium.
