Red Blooded American Boy

When the bill becomes due for young folks under 30, they are going to crap their pants. Over sixty percent of these idealistic kids voted for change. The change they are going to get is less change in their own pockets. They will have to drive their Volkswagen vans to Washington, DC and leave them on the Capital Mall. They will not be able to afford them anymore.

See, they are getting their first lesson in economics. In the impending healthcare reform bill, their insurance rates are going up a minimum of 35%. Statistically, kids under 30 will use less health care yet will be paying a higher percentage of costs for healthcare. Overall, everyone is paying more. The highest increase in costs are placed on those under 20, though.

As I recall, the twenties are for building. Young adults build education and skills to provide for a family. Yes, building a family with a spouse and kids occurs in the twenties, too. Savings will need to be put away. Careers will need time and dedication to establish. A house and a car would also be nice. Thats quite a feat because income is less. Every penny means so much.

The young kids voted to keep less of their pennies. Big mistake.

When I was in my twenties, I rarely went to the doctor. Now, I am 40 and on a few medications. I even have a couple of diagnoses to my name. I need more healthcare, but I will pay less. Thats really ironic because I make six times more than I did in my highest income level at 29. Those whippersnappers are going to shuck out more — when making less money. I make and take more, but will pay less.

The Obama voters will never be able to catch up to me in economic standing, because they will be supplementing my expensive healthcare. Sorry, I am trying not to laugh.

I don’t think the change they voted for included a diaper change. Tears will not make “hope” come around to change their diaper, either.

The model also found that premiums for the youngest 30 percent of the population, who are needed to help lower premiums for everyone, will increase by 35 percent as a direct result of the 3:1 age band included in the PPACA. “Significantly restricting age discounts coupled with a weak mandate will cause young people – who are critical to providing cross subsidies – to forgo coverage resulting in higher premiums for everyone,” said Kurt Giesa, director, Oliver Wyman, Inc.
