The ACA is a fricking power grab. The authors don't care if it achieves it's stated goals for their own sake. They only need enough they can lie about to continue the evolution to the govt eventually controlling health care because "there's just no other way".

No, the person to whom I was responding said he wasn't going to buy insurance....which means you and me will pay for his treatment if he is significantly injured, gets sick, etc

So your assertion is that it is better to take the money for this hypothetical person's treatment from those already paying for insurance in advance by drastically raising their rates in order to pay not only for any future health events for this person who has not bought insurance for himself in the past, but also to pay for and maintain a gigantic government expansion to oversee and enforce this new arrangement.

If the taxpayers are lucky, the uninsured person might start chipping in 50 bucks a month after subsidies. So far the "45 million" uninsured have not flocked to this program in droves.

But responsible people now pay much more for much less when it comes to their own health insurance.

Your stance is that this new arrangement is better?

Go frick yourself. I'm sick of this meme of all us millennials being vapid mindless drones. There are plenty of us active and interesting in the process. It's insulting. We're the youth vote, not the idiot vote. There is certainly overlap, but the idiot vote cuts across all demographics.

Me thinks he doth protest too much. Reread my post carefully and you will see I am not calling anyone idiots, just proposing some actions that might make younger people more engaged in the political process. Your response says more about you than it does about me.

That being said, you really haven't got a leg to stand on seeing how the unusually large youth turnout in 2008 has served millenials thus far.
