"Encouraging" young people...is far from mandating it.
It still boils down to the basic political philosophy differences I outlined in my previous post...and you've shown nothing that disputes it.
Instead of parsing bits of Trumpcare, at least be honest enough to admit that you don't really care if all American citizens have healthcare...because if you did you wouldn't be saying what you're saying.
Is that so hard?

But that's just it...there ISN'T the pool of people who never need it. Almost everyone has medical costs during their lifetime. The average is $1 million per person...960 $1,000 payments...80 years worth...and most of that is spent in the last year of life. For ANY system, we need "death panels" who determine justification. A 90 year old shouldn't get $ millions to keep him alive another few months. A very early preemie that will NEVER live a decent life, shouldn't be saved at ALL cost. We can't afford to do whatever it takes for everyone.

If you want a $ million worth of healthcare during your life...it'll cost over $1,000 a month...per person. It's math, it's economics, it's what it costs.
