>> Let's Get Personal: Obamacare Really Is Good For The Young And

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

You pay for it when he goes to the hospital without insurance.
The cost is even higher then.
After all, the mandate is a republican proposal from the
original Heritage Foundation/Romney care days.
Insurance may be a personal choice, but all to often lack of
insurance is not a personal choice.
