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!

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

Because no matter your age, your premium (and subsidy) is based on income only. An older person's total premium will be much higher than the younger person. Plus I imagine us older folks would rather be insured than not, since more can go wrong or we're already on some kind of treatment/medication for something or other.
