Low end datapoint: My kids in their 20’s, healthy, report that low-end insurance (the kind you get in between jobs) has doubled.

Higher costs, higher deductibles, lower coverage, lowered standards of healthcare, useage as a regulatory tool on what you can eat or drink or your personal habits, people out of work because of it, gross invasion of privacy sharing information with other agencies, implantation of tracking and data stoarge in devices embedded in skin, etc...

Yep definitely a liberal / progressive / DemonRat thing....

ANYONE who kids themselves that Ocare is about health is delusional. It is about CONTROL and uses the health industry as its vehicle.

You’re right, although it “looks” good with the apostrophe. If I were spelling it out, I would have no doubt said “twenties.”

The whole concept of healthy kids in their 20s even seeking health insurance is idiocy. How in the heck do we think we got here over the centuries? By being helpless infants? Free people determine and pay for their own medical care the same way they pay for their homes and cars and food, including insurance markets for risk-type medical needs. And charitable Christian people fund hospitals, some of the finest in the world.

Medicine, aided by government-directed and mandated minimum requirements, an entire marketing demographic exists around marketed and sold medical services advertised as "urgent." Medicine has always done this -- there is nothing new under the sun. Adding government to power and enforce that drive is guaranteed to fail. That is its one certain outcome.

And most Americans, who hold the MSM in extreme contempt on the whole, know it.

You have to distinguish between real insurance and routine health care. I think kids should have catastrophic insurance, especially the way today's health system is set up. We're talking about getting hit by a car, mugged, or contracting an expensive and unlikely disease. If they don't, any savings they have, and often any savings their parents might have, can be wiped out before they go on the medical dole.

On the other hand, I agree that the maintenance component is an un-necessary ripoff for them, where they are forced to pay many times what it is worth to subsidize others.

Maybe they should, but that should be their choice, and if they end up in debt or needing charity, that's their and MY (as a charitable Christian) challengs. Government, you, me, gramdma, dad, doctor, teacher, nanny -- NONE of the above have any business dictating to a young person how they should or shouldn't spend their money.

For me, even with my blood pressure medication AND doctors appointments and lab tests (I pay CASH for all and get a substantial discount because of it), I spend about as much IN A YEAR total, as I would for one lousy month of health insurance. Without government, that's a rip-off -- WITH government, it is beyond a rip-off, it is lunacy.

I agree--I think prudence is one thing, the Obamacare/RomneyCare mandate quite another.
