Social Insurance is Social Security, broken down into three parts:

(1) Old Age Insurance

(2) Survivors Insurance, and

(3) Disability Insurance.

Every working person contributes 7.65% of their paycheck (up to the 1st $118,500) and their employer matches the same. A self-employed person will contribute 15.3% of their pay up to $118,500. Under the Affordable Health Care Act, more commonly known as Obama Care, passed in 2009 and became law in 2010, everybody must have health insurance either privately, through their employer or through a federal or state run health exchange. If you do not have insurance, you will pay a fine.
