How do I know if I am affected by a particular government law? When I failed to attain health insurance during my unemployment months last year, and found out from this year’s taxes the hard way of not having health insurance, was that my own ignorance? Who was I supposed to turn to and learn from though? Or was it because I failed to turn on the TV which I haven’t owned in over 11 years. Maybe a better question to ask is, “why aren’t these types of things being taught in school?” And if school isn’t the right place to be “educated” on issues like insurance, then what station do I start tuning into.
