How many single 20 somethings here buy health insurance

Yeah you really seem so concerned that you stay on a forum posting BS all day long, why don't you at least TRY and look for a side job, maybe one that has coverage? You won't because you really aren't that worried about it.

I HAVE a side job. It's impossible to afford a reasonable health insurance plan. You are DELUSIONAL if you think otherwise!

Luckily you live in a state with lower taxes and less regulations which attracts more business and will provide more oppurtunities.
The point is you are not helpless without options.

Good fuckign God Dano can you say anything for more than five seconds without attributing everyrthing in the world to your delusional political philosophy?
 
I bought while I was single and in my 20's. Term.


I did not want my parents to go bankrupt were I diagnosed with Cancer.
 
yeah when you were a lawyer.
My point is many in there 20's don't want or need medical insurance.
I started at 24 becuase my firm gave for next to nothing, i'd have waited till I had kids to buy it on the market.

Well there won't be now. Too bad they are stuck buying largely useless health insurance instead of paying for higher education that will get them a better job or saving up for their first house.
:(
The left is destroying the American dream little by little, this bill must be repealed.
 
Man, this thread was from so far back I see uscitizen posted on it. Wow dano, you can really dig 'em up. Anyways, I didn't get health insurance until I was married at 35. Of course I had free health care but realized the need for insurance if I was sick or injured and caught out of my area.
 
that was my whole point, they are screwing young people cause they don't vote as much. Boomers win again.

Actually, the issue is that if you want to ban insurers from denying people coverage based on pre-existing conditions (people who consume lots of healthcare and are expensive to insure) you have to get lots of people who don not consume a lot of healthcare and are inexpensive to insure (the young and healthy) to get health insurance. Otherwise, health insurance premiums would explode and you'd end up with a death spiral.

Not really. Being a boomer is not a pre-existing condition that disqualifies one from obtaining reasonably priced health insurance. And if they really just wanted the boomer vote, they'd have expanded Medicare eligibility to age 50 and left it at that.
 
your digging fly shit out of the pepper. This doesn't fly without AARP support and it comes with KY for GEN X & Y

I'm just telling you why you have to have the young and healthy buy insurance if you want to ban coverage denials based on pre-existing conditions. If you want to expand the risk pool on the high risk side, you have to expand it on the low risk side as well to avoid a huge increase in cost.

It would not be a huge increase in cost, you would offer higher premiums for the older generations who could stomach it because they are wealthier.

Let's get real, the cost spikes in healthcare have NOT come from something that has been around forever like people in their 20's without insurance.
It has come from overregulation, advances in technology, ease of lawsuits and inability to buy cheaper insurance because the Patients Rights Act de facto forbids it.
