District of Columbia officials are recruiting young residents this weekend to enroll in ObamaCare by showing up where they “party by night and shop by day.”

Officials on Saturday visited two Footlocker stores where Nike’s exclusive Air Jordan 12 “Taxi” sneakers were going on sale. And they are scheduled to visit two Denny’s restaurants from 2 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.

Young people just aren't signing up -- their premiums for Obamacare are way too high. This is what happens when the government is forcing a "one-size-fits-all" option on people -- instead of allowing younger people to buy catastrophic insurance or have various options of coverage levels.

And how much is it costing the taxpayers to pay these government employees who try to literally hunt down young people to get them to sign up for obamacare?

Here in Seattle, we have extensive “community outreach” for ObamaCare.

The result?

Medicaid applications outnumber regular policy applications by more than 3 to 1.

Has anybody seen a national scorecard on Medicaid vs. regular policies?

I don't know if Washington state is an outlier, or if the numbers here reflect a national trend.

I saw this posted by Tea Party. I thought the Senate would vote on this in Jan 2014.

Our previous system makes more sense to me when it comes to young people buying insurance. Sure, they paid lower premiums because of their unlikelihood of using up their policies, but their money was in the pool and more then were willing to pay something than are willing to pay the huge premiums now. So a lot more small payments vs. a lot less larger ones—and guess what they’ll do? Try to milk every “free” item they can to get back some of their money.
