   > Let's Get Personal: Obamacare Really Is Good For The Young And   
   > Healthy   
      
   Here's the short version: someone named Todd Essig thinks that young adults   
   should have insurance so that they will not have catastrophic expenses, they   
   will be able to take more prescription drugs, and they will get preventive   
   care.  The only thing that this has to do with Obamacare is that he feels the   
   government should force people to get insurance even if they disagree with him.   
    Other than that, his essay has nothing to do with the Affordable Care Act,   
   just insurance in the abstract.   
      
   So who is Todd Essig?  "Todd Essig, Ph.D., is a Training and Supervising   
   Psychoanalyst at the William Alanson White Institute and Clinical Assistant   
   Professor of Psychiatry at New York Medical College."   
      
   One of the comments to the article: "If insurance is ultimately a personal   
   decision like you say than can you explain to me why we are going to be forced   
   to pay a tax to support it? That seems to me to take the personal decision out   
   of it."
