Men under 35 don’t need health insurance. Sure there is a rare exception but to have millions of young men throw away a billlion plus dollars for nothing is insane. I didn’t have it, didn’t need it. And neither did any of my friends or family at that age.
That is why Obamacare fines it out of you as a tax if you don’t have a plan. Either way they get you.
If you are so poor as to not have anything to worry about, then you would be on welfare anyway.
Ditto.
It seems to me like most people, particularly guys, could do quite well with just a high deductible hospital plan to cover anything major.
Neither my mom or my dad had any health coverage, even though they both worked full-time all their lives, until they were old enough to qualify for Medicare.
I still contend that people, regardless of their age, should be able to pick and choose what they want covered and what they don’t. But it always seems to get back to the issue of my having to pay for someone else’s illness. I really have never felt any compulsion to be my brother’s keeper, just my immediate family members and even then, only up to a point.

Catastrophic they should have, and if family, insured mandatory for the wife/kids.
“Men under 35 don’t need health insurance.”
I think ObamaCare will fold under its own weight when the tax base has become so small it can’t be sustained. Not only are a lot of young people u- or under-employed, but a growing number of young whites are imitating their urban counterparts and breeding without any intention of getting a job. It sustained our cities for 50 years; now it is being forced to sustain our suburbs (and illegals).
I had health insurance almost constantly from age 18 on but from 18 to 21 it was called free medical care in the Navy and from 21 on it was provided by employers at no cost to me. There was a short period when I was working for commission when I bought my own policy for a whopping eleven dollars a month. That was a major medical policy from Travelers and I was 26 years old at the time. At age 47, running my own business I had a policy covering my wife and me one hundred percent while in the hospital, no copays, for $113. a month. Now look what we have after all these years of government “improvements” in health care.
Men under 35 should purchase cheap catastrophic insurance with a high deductible.
