Because in our society, what we need is to take money away from young people and give them to older people.Originally Posted by EyeKhan
Isn't this how health insurance is supposed to work???Healthy (generally young) subsidize care for the sick (generally old)? There's no other way to care for sick people, is there?
Also, I've read that the actual exchange premiums are coming out generally lower than the government originally estimated... Shouldn't the direct competition generated by the exchange system work that way to drive premiums down? Sort of like a market-based solution?
@ Dread -- really? You are counseling people to pay money to stay uninsured (except catastrophic, noted) rather than even buying the cheapest insurance plan and getting things like annual physicals and what not? Shouldn't they at least compare the cost of an exchange plan vs. their catastrophic plan + fine and take the best deal?
