Tonight was so much fun! Sorry we came to you a little late tonight, but Kat had to stay late covering an eco-friendly sex workshop for CampusReform.org. Tonight we talked about Obama, frenzied EBT cardholders, the PETA/Redskins controversy, and people who love ranch dressing way too much. Hope you enjoy!

    Hi there! The whole point of an insurance policy is that everyone needs to pool in to spread the risk. That means the young have to pay. It’s the same way for any other kind of insurance. Auto, home, etc. No one, the insurers or the consumers should be able to opt out because then that creates an inequality.

    ACA was originally a conservative plan. The government is not getting way of your doctor. Yes, if you’re young, you’re going to have to chip in. However you will be given a tax credit based on your income level if you’re really that “poor.” Your health should not be gambled. A benefit of spreading the risk is that the cost of emergency operations w/o insurers wouldn’t be dumped on the tax payers anyway whether or not this policy exists.

    You’re looking at an all-too-narrow slice of the ACA. Our current system wasn’t working because 1: tax credits were given to employers rather directly (because the employer can get a large pool of costumers), insurers can DENY you based on pre-existing health conditions, people who were not qualified for medicaid could barely afford private insurance. Having the exchange market open ENCOURAGES competition. The fact is, this policy actually HELPS insurance companies.

    If you’re young and don’t have health insurance, sure it’s okay in the meantime. An accident can happen. I think anyone would want to know they won’t go bankrupt because they couldn’t afford insurance. Bankruptcy due to medical bills is the #1 cause of bankruptcy in the US.
