Because you are basically saying from the moment the insurance, you’re 21 years old, you start working and you’re paying $12 a year for insurance, and by the time you’re 70, you get a nice plan. You’re going to have it if you’re a person going in … don’t forget, this was not supposed to be the way insurance works. That’s how health insurance differs from life insurance. Healthy people don’t always want to buy insurance, though, which is why Obamacare has a mandate: have insurance or pay a tax penalty. Oh, also, health insurance costs a smidgen more than $1 a month.
