Stepping Up to the Plate

Jonah Goldberg is funny, but he usually has an important point to make. Like today when he is talking about Obamacare succeeding or failing. Goldberg says that the Millennials are the key and he frames it thusly:

"Whenever curmudgeons like yours truly suggested that young people were getting caught up in a fad or that Obama was simply buying votes at the expense of taxpayers, you'd have a fit. You'd insist that millennials are not only informed, but eager to make sacrifices for the greater good.

Well, here's your chance to prove it: Fork over whatever it costs to buy the best health insurance you can under Obamacare. Just in case you forgot, under Obamacare, healthy young people such as yourself not only need to buy health insurance in order for the whole thing to work, but you have to be overcharged for it. If you don't pay more -- probably a lot more -- than what you could get today on the market in most states, Obamacare will come apart like wet toilet paper."

And did you know that it is far cheaper to pay the fine for not getting coverage than to buy the insurance? Hmm, I wonder how it will all turn out...
