Anti-ObamaCare groups have started running ads in swing states (Louisiana, Arkansas, Maine) targeted at healthy young adults who currently choose to self-insure for healthcare — that is, they realize that healthcare insurance is — for them — way most costly than just “paying retail” for the limited healthcare services they use.
Under ObamaCare, all of these folks will be “mandated” (i.e. forced) to buy health insurance. If the insurance costs more than 12% of their earnings, then they get taxpayer subsidies to close the gap.
The ads hit the point that these young healthies will — in effect — be subsidizing the folks whose healthcare expenses exceed their premiums.
