THE SKY IS FALLING __ NO!

I have read quite a few reports of actuarial projections that are saying that the premiums might go up a whole 2% if more younger people do not become part of the insurance pools.

Young people have babies and children that need paediatrician care. Young people are prone to accidental and sports injuries. Just turn the uninsured away at e-rooms for a while and let them die -- they will start to find the money.

Hate to say it, as it is maybe a bit inhumane, but that would be a real penalty ...

If you are really low income there are subsidies up to 100% (Medicaid eligibility) so it is just a red herring argument.
