Sure, young Jayson fresh out of college, driving a ‘98 Civic, paying for car insurance, housing, food, utilities etc and making $29,000/yr, is going to happily sign up in the system and lose another Grand a month.

Only an ignorant person, or a fool, WOULD be engaged with Obamacare! I am surprised that an underground movement does not start, of “hackers” signing up thousands of imaginary “clients” for it, who then never pay their premiums, and thus overwhelm the hated system.

"Obama’s only real hope is that the youth remain ignorant and follow like sheep into the shearing yard."

It's worked so far.

Doesn’t that make him eligible for a subsidy?

Whatever you do, DON’T spread the idea of an underground Resistance signing up imaginary people to help sabotage Obamacare! It is FORBIDDEN to discuss.

So I am a 20-something, with little savings and mucho debt, and I want to desperately waste time on a nonfunctioning website and buy something I don’t need and probably won’t use at an exorbitant price so I can subsidize certain older people?? I don’t think so.

If disaster strikes, they can buy insurance at that point to cover it, thanks to the law Obama passed.
________________________________________________

I never had insurance when I was young...

Why would young people now ???

and especially since its not really “insurance”

insurance means you must be signed up and paying premiums BEFORE the fact...

They can buy healthcare insurance AFTER they get sick if they have an illness while they are young...

Unlike buying auto insureance after the fact or home ...

If I have no insurance and my house burns down or I have a car accident Im outa luck...

But if I have no healthcare insurance and get cancer or have a heart attack I can get insurance after the fact and still have my healthcare paid for...

or if Im under 26 my parents can pay for me long after Ive left home and married or have a passel of children of my own...

good deal...

why would I want to spend money I can use for a smart phone, ciggies or a car... ???

Jayson needs that extra grand to pay back his college loans.

Why you SELFISH little Whippersnapper! *SMIRK*

This is working on the other end, too. I have a few old hippies that I know who have gotten by for decades without health insurance of any kind. “Stickin’ it to Da Man’ and using the ER when they need to so We The People have been subsidizing them for decades already.

Now they’re OLD and the 0bamabots HAVE to buy what their messiah is peddling or face fines.

Oh, ‘tis a thing of beauty to watch! Tee-Hee!

P.S. You’ve been here since 1999? Signed up when you were a teen, did ya? Good for you!

When they see what they’re in for, it’ll be like the day they got their first paycheck, thinking they’d get their wage times the amount of hours they worked. Reality sucks!

The young people don’t want Obamacare any more than they would want ObamaFlowers — Read on and pass it on!!

Obama Flowers - Have you ordered yours yet?

(Receptionist) Hello, Welcome to ObamaFlowers, My name is Trina. How can I help you?

(Customer) Hello, I received an email from Professional Flowers stating that my flower order has been canceled and I should go to your exchange to reorder it. I tried your website, but it seems like it is not working. So I am calling the 800 number.

(Receptionist) Yes, I am sorry about the website. It should be fixed by the end of November – or maybe December. But I can help you.

(Customer) Thanks, I ordered a “Spring Bouquet” for our anniversary, and wanted it delivered to my wife.

(Receptionist Interrupting) Sir, “Spring Bouquets” do not meet our minimum standards, I will be happy to provide you with Red Roses.

(Customer) But I have always ordered “Spring Bouquets”, done it for years, my wife likes them.

(Receptionist) Roses are better, sir. I am sure your wife will love them.

(Customer) Well, how much are they?

(Receptionist) It depends sir, do you want our Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum package.

(Customer) What’s the difference?

(Receptionist) 6, 12,18 or 24 Red Roses.

(Customer) The Silver package may be okay, how much is it?

(Receptionist) It depends sir, what is you monthly income?

(Customer) What does that have to do with anything?

(Receptionist) I need that to determine your government flower subsidy, then I can determine how much your out of pocket cost will be. But if your income is below our minimums for a subsidy, then I can refer you to our FlowerAid department.

(Customer) FlowerAid?

(Receptionist) Yes, Flowers are a Right, everyone has a right to flowers. So, if you can’t afford them, then the government will supply them free of charge.

(Customer) Who said they were a Right?

(Receptionist) Congress passed it, the President signed it and the Supreme Court found it Constitutional.

(Customer) Whoa.....I don’t remember seeing anything in the Constitution regarding Flowers as a Right.

(Receptionist) It is not really a Right in the Constitution, but ObamaFlowers is Constitutional because the Supreme Court Ruled it a “Tax”. Taxes are Constitutional. But we feel it is a Right.

(Customer) I don’t believe this...

(Receptionist) It’s the law of the land sir. Now, we anticipated most people would go for the Silver Package, so what is you monthly income sir?

(Customer) Forget it, I think I will forgo the flowers this year.

(Receptionist) In that case sir, I will still need your monthly income.

(Customer) Why?

(Receptionist) To determine what your ‘non-participation’ cost would be.

(Customer) WHAT? Your can’t charge me for NOT buying flowers!

(Receptionist) It’s the law of the land, sir, approved by the Supreme Court. It’s $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income.....

(Customer)interrupting) This is ridiculous, I’ll pay the $9.50..

(Receptionist) Sir, it is the $9.50 or 1% of your monthly income, whichever is greater.

(Customer) ARE YOU KIDDING ME? What a ripoff!!

(Receptionist) Actually sir, it is a good deal. Next year it will be 2%.

(Customer) Look, I’m going to call my Congressman to find out what’s going on here. This is ridiculous. I’m not going to pay it.

(Receptionist) Sorry to hear that sir, that’s why I had the NSA track this call and obtain the make and model of the cell phone your are using.

(Customer) Why does the NSA need to know what kind of CELL PHONE I AM USING?

(Receptionist) So they get your GPS coordinates sir

(Door Bell rings followed immediately by a loud knock on the door)

(Receptionist) That would be the IRS sir. Thanks for calling ObamaFlowers, have a nice day...and God Bless America.

Obama needs to rent a big stadium for an OFA event. Then, all the young, hip people who “care” will show up (promise some edgy hip minstrels will show up to warm up the crowd for the Big O’s speech).

Then, use NSA technology to steal the credit card info from all those young people and max out their cards to make this month’s ObamaCare payments for everyone.

Repeat in a different town each month, and ObamaCare becomes the success that it was always designed to be—a high tech, traveling snake oil salseman.
