![]() It seems to me that healthcare insurers should be able to charge more in premiums for those who are of higher risk--either because of past health problems, or because they are (statistically) more prone to health problems, because of the age group into which they fall.
After all, automobile insurance is sold this way: Those who have had past problems (i.e. at-fault accidents), as well as those who are in a higher-risk age group (in this case, young people), are charged more, all other factors being equal.

![]() And where did those penalties go? To the General Fund..... not to the insurance companies in order to offset the rate increase that was necessary for them to charge to continue providing the insurance on an individual basis to higher risk people who did sign up. There was an integral (intentional?) flaw in the PPACA. Some saw it. And many had their willful blinders on.....

Your point about the young and healthy though is valid. Young adults believe they are invincible and are when considered on a comparative basis. Insurance companies know otherwise and charge accordingly. Government run health care or insurance, must know the risk. They've kept records on age vs. medical and the cost of preexisting conditions. But they tried to make the young public believe that those with low risk should purchase anyway. Kids are dumb, but they are not stupid. If they can sign up on their way into the operating room, no way will they sign up earlier. |

Amendments were put forth, and knocked down. The Democrats own the PPACA lock, stock and barrel. I don't agree with everything put forth on health insurance by the GOP, but trying to put something in place of that boondoggle is going to take some serious work. Will they get it right? Maybe, maybe not. But for now, the burden the PPACA inappropriately put on employers has been at least temporarily mitigated. Perhaps now, people will have to take responsibility for their own lives, which is something the left never wants to have happen.
