That’s how insurance works. You pay for a plan you likely don’t need so everyone older than you is reasonably covered.

If young people elected to get a barebones plan while in good health, who would subsidize them when they grow older?

That’s not how insurance works. No insurance company coerces you to buy it, as Obama did.

  • You're forced to buy auto insurance.

    • Technically not. In many states you have the option of posting a refundable security deposit with the government to meet the minimum liability requirement as an alternative to purchasing auto insurance.
