Submitted by ub on

The nation's highest court is expected to issue a landmark decision on the Affordable Care Act, also known as OBAMACARE.

It is scheduled to take effect in 2014 and will require that everyone maintain a certain level of health insurance in order to expand insurance pools and help mediate costs.

This forced purchase has angered opponents, who say this bill sets the precedent for the government to dictate other types of purchases.
