Here's an overwhelming reason they won't sign up; student loan and credit card debt.

Which is why Ubama must have the US taxpayer eat outstanding student loans.

All of this is disaster without TORT REFORM!

The online application that has become the standard for everyone seeking Obamacare subsidies for coverage runs to more than 60 pages’ worth of questions, demanding information on income, family status, details on any health insurance offered at an applicant’s workplace, and lifestyle.

I'm not 27 .... and I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but it won't be Obamacare.

If someone is 27 years old, single, and making $34,000 a year, he will have to fork over more than $300 a month for a basic health-care package — that’s 50 percent more than he is likely paying now. Obamacare would send him a check for $20 a month through its subsidy program, but he or she will still wind up paying some $1,000 a year of after-tax income for basic health insurance.

Maybe I'm one of those "old math" geezers, but if they pay $300/month, that's $3600 a year. Even with a subsidy of $20/month ($240), it's still $3360/year, not $1000. Am I missing something?

I love this short, simple article. Pay $95 or well over a thousand for a young low wage worker? I’m going to put this on my waiting room.
The other thing the article does not state is that there will still be co-pays and deductibles further increasing out of pocket costs.
Most low wage workers w/o insurance will not fall for the BS.

If young people boycott Obamacare, the law of adverse selection kicks in. Too few young people in an insurance pool means fewer healthy people to subsidize the sicker people. Costs and premiums will rise more than expected, which will lead to fewer young people signing up and costs going up even more. In insurance jargon, it’s called a death spiral.

All of which gets us closer to nobama's ultimate goal: Single Payer.

They can’t pay their student loans. They certainly are not going to sign up for Obamacare. Millions of people are just not going to bother with it.

So there will be a budget shortfall? No problem, McCain and Graham to the rescue.

Not sure why it is just the young that will opt for the penalty. Why not old people too?

To the young people that voted for Obama but don’t want to pay the premiums for Obamacare:

What the heck did you expect? This IS the socialism you voted for!
