So they’ve created such a disaster that the only way it succeeds is if young people purchase something they generally don’t need. This is what you get when you think you can micro-manage something of this magnitude, eliminating the marketplace as a whole, essentially nationalizing it. Of course it thrills bureaucrats, whose very existence realized on monsters like this, but as socialist societies have proven time and time again, this fails and in a BIG way. Just ask the people of the former Soviet Union. Of North Korea. Of Cuba. Pathetic.
Former President Bill Clinton pointed out a flaw in Obamacare’s ability to keep projected costs low during a promotional interview with President Obama about his increasingly unpopular health care law Tuesday.
“This only works, for example, if young people show up,” he said. “And even if they buy the cheapest plan, then they claim their tax credit so it won’t cost them much, 100 bucks a month or so. We’ve got to have them in the pools, because otherwise all these projected low costs cannot be held if older people with preexisting conditions are disproportionately represented in any given state. You’ve got to have everybody lined up.”
Most young human bodies are robust and don’t need much health care. The cave men wouldn’t have made it otherwise. Clinton is tossing the last of his dignity.
Interview with a founder of Occupy Wallstreet who now lives in rural Oregon. He is clearly a leftist that doesn’t think through to conclusion what he wants politically, but he is not without observation and I think an example of why the young are not showing up for Ocare and Obama in general right now. http://www.dw.de/the-people-must-become-the-government/a-17100217
“…In America right now we have two political parties that are basically exactly the same and they have an iron grip on power in this country. Coming into 2014 we are going to have a (midterm – the ed.) election and in 2016 we are going to have a presidential election. And what I am going to be working on is trying to create a social movement that elects bottom-up leaders….I think the time is absolutely ripe for it. I don’t see any other solution to the political impasse that we are at right now in the government….I am the founder of a boutique activist consultancy and we are trying to create the tools and tactics of the next social uprising. America has been too centered on its urban culture …there is this much larger, rural America, the America that is really suffering under the economic situation….”
Why this schmuck still has traction is beyond me.

Question: What are the young, unemployed people supposed to use for money to buy the thing they don’t want or need? Ok, they can be pretty resourceful. Will these healthcare plans come with the new Samsung S4, iphone 5s, or XBox One? What about Sunday Ticket? No, you say? Well, fa-ge-ta ’bout it.
