By charging the 25-year-old the same premium as they charge the elderly, ill policyholder. Not only that, the elderly cancer patient will die ASAP, due to denial of non-cost-effective treatments aimed at prolonging their useless lives, therefore saving lots of *costs* to the system, while the healthy 25-year-old will continue to be forced to pay their high premium forever. To insure that the 25-year-old doesn't become a costly drain on the system, their lifestyle habits will be monitored, taxed or made illegal. Eventually, this will become a ban on various dangerous sports, such as hang gliding and rock climbing. Sitting in front of the computer will be limited via rationing of electricity and daily group calisthenics will become strongly encouraged. If the 25-year-old eventually develops an expensive disease condition, they, too, shall simply be denied treatments that exceed the mandated cost-effectiveness. Those born with such a condition will be allowed to die comfortably, since they have no hope of living a complete life as defined by the Health Boards.



Way to go, kids! You will feel so good about yourselves and your contribution to the State!

In the future, there will be no hope for any change, ever.
