Unaffordable Care

Obamacare doesn't care about the young:

The ACA’s risk-pooling mechanisms and individual mandate require younger, healthier individuals to subsidize older, high-risk populations, inflating premiums for those with limited financial resources. Medicare’s payroll tax structure intensifies this inequity, extracting funds from young workers to sustain a program facing looming insolvency risks.
