If disaster strikes, they can buy insurance at that point to cover it, thanks to the law Obama passed.

I never had insurance when I was young...
Why would young people now ???
and especially since its not really “insurance”
insurance means you must be signed up and paying premiums BEFORE the fact...
They can buy healthcare insurance AFTER they get sick if they have an illness while they are young...
Unlike buying auto insureance after the fact or home ...
If I have no insurance and my house burns down or I have a car accident Im outa luck...
But if I have no healthcare insurance and get cancer or have a heart attack I can get insurance after the fact and still have my healthcare paid for...
or if Im under 26 my parents can pay for me long after Ive left home and married or have a passel of children of my own...
good deal...
why would I want to spend money I can use for a smart phone, ciggies or a car... ???
Actually the way the sign up process works is you will only be able to sign up once per year so if the illness needs to be treated immediately like a broken leg you will not be able to buy insurance until the next open enrollment with coverage not starting until January of the following year.
