40% of the subscribers need to be healthy.
I can't tell you how many younger people I have known over the last 10 years that were able to purchase good insurance for $150 a month, or less, but didn't, simply because they didn't think they needed it or they "didn't have the money" (that's a priority issue, most of them had new cars.) Anyway, point being, these younger people that are now going to be depended on already had access to this insurance and didn't get it simply because they didn't want it. Totally reassuring knowing that the new system is dependent on a pension style structure. The pension structure sure has been working out great for unions! (That was sarcasm.)
