A poll released Wednesday by Harvard University’s Institute of Politics found that more than half of 18- to 29-year-olds disapprove of ObamaCare and believe it will raise their healthcare costs.
Even more troubling for the administration is that less than one-third of uninsured young people said they plan to enroll in coverage.
Without a large number of young, healthy people in the insurance exchanges, it could create a “death spiral” of high premiums that could threaten the long-term viability of the marketplaces.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

O should have consulted with Madoff on how to make this last a few years
Maybe “marketplaces” is the wrong term.
No, that lays it on the line. Health insurance is a business, not an inalienable right. I am an “Old Invincible” by the way (because I won’t join either).
Friends insurance shot from 270 to 770. He does get psychiatric coverage to handle his newly diagnosed depression after a 6000 dollar deductable.
Totally predictable, and real insurance companies know their market. So how and why on God’s green earth did O expect these young people, who cannot get a job, but can stay on their parents insurance until 26, to buy their own? Oh I know, he structured is so the parents would lose their existing plans, Top to bottom, in structure and implementation, this is monumentally stupid legislation.
ACA was never expected to succeed. They know the young people are not stupid or, ingenuously, they assume that their socialist programs in our public schools and colleges to be working very well and that the young people will gleefully donate all their earnings to the collective.
That said, ACA was designed to fail so badly that our Undocumented Worker-in-Chief can demand a single-payer system to save the country and, done, the government has taken over healthcare completely.
Keep up your struggle to discredit the Affordable Care Act. The Kochs will be proud of your efforts to sabotage the ship of state. If I found a saboteur aboard my ship, I wouldn’t negotiate with him, I’d hang him from the yardarm.
I thought Joe McCarthy was dead.
Go back to East Germany, please. Or maybe North Korea.
For those of you who don’t know Martin, he is one of the authors of “Slaying the Sky Dragon” (I state that as a simple fact, and make no judgement about the Sky-Dragon viewpoint), so he is one of the few highly-educated liberals in the world who is on the “climate realist” team. He very graciously allowed me to video-tape a talk he gave a few years ago called “Climategate and Scientific Inquiry” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPTiTFMhZrg), so I consider him a good man and a good friend. But he also isn’t shy about his liberal political views. As such, he is as prone to repeating liberal political nonsense as any of the rest of them. 😉
Thanks for the compliment. Koch brothers are fine people, unlike the communists of the present authority.
You sound like one of the mutinous crew of HMS Bounty, casting Captain Bligh adrift because they could not understand what was required of them. His day came and Bligh is well remembered.
Seriously, what is it with the Koch obsession? The left has billionaires out the wahzoo and one just happens to support the conservatives and they go apeshit. Amazing, how they blame them for everything from bad weather to the failure of Obamacare. Pretty funny stuff.
Absolutely Koch brothers industries and investments employ thousands of people without having to rely on massive pork-barrel government assistance.
What a tool. There is no “struggle” to discredit Obambycare. It does well enough all by itself.
The crew here can hardly be blamed for capsizing the good ship ACA. But we’re happy to serve as cheerleaders as it goes down. Unfortunately, at this point very few of us are standing on dry land.
Nice fact filled rebuttal of Obama’s single attempt to build something.

“That said, ACA was designed to fail so badly that our Undocumented Worker-in-Chief can demand a single-payer system to save the country and, done, the government has taken over healthcare completely.”
I’ve seen the swoop-in-with-single-payer meme before, and I don’t buy it. A more realistic scenario is that the vast majority of Americans will be bloody fed-up with our goobermint’s attempt to micromanage 1/6 of our economy. In the near future, any Dem Congressman who comes out in favor of single payer will lose the next election by a landslide.
