Professor Bainbridge: “In other words, my premiums will go down because healthy young people who currently get by without insurance will be forced to buy policies they may not even want. (When I was young and healthy, I got by quite happily with a bare bones Blue Cross policy that only covered catastrophic expenses). It’s a wealth transfer from the young and uninsured to the old and insured.”
As Prof. Bainbridge notes, as an insured old fart, who am I to complain?
It was you idiot kids who helped elect this celebrity president, so don’t bitch and moan when you 1) can’t find jobs when you graduate (because unemployment is in double-digits), 2) you’re forced to pay for health insurance you don’t need and can’t afford, and 3) you and your kids are saddled with a lifetime of higher taxes to pay for it all.
