Spouses and young people under ObamaCare

ObamaCare Kicks Wives Off Their Husbands’ Health Plans   "Employer health insurance must cover employees dependent children up to age 26, but there is nothing that says it has to cover spouses. The fees associated with the plan are causing employers to reconsider whether or not to included wives and/or husbands in their medical plans. When it comes down to it, ObamaCare could actually be considered a War On The Family Unit."
Many will be driven to the federal exchanges, as Democrats want.

Obamacare Is Really, Really Bad For You, Especially If You're Young  "Preventing health insurers from fully accounting for age will not change the reality that, in general, the older you are, the greater your medical expenses (six times greater, when you compare 64-year-olds to 18-year-olds). These are costs that someone has to pay. If insurers can’t charge those older according to their risk, they have to overcharge those younger to make up the cost."
Some younger people will see what they pay for insurance double.
Even though Brian judges this to be the best way to manage his medical expenses, under the health law, it’s illegal for insurers to offer him a policy geared to his actual risk. Instead, per government mandate, a portion of the income he earns and intends to use to build his life is channeled into the pockets of others.
Another way ObamaCare will stifle the American economy.

Study: Three million young Americans would save $1,000 by forgoing the Obamacare health exchanges
"The youngest candidate running for Congress, Ron Meyer (R-VA), says many younger Americans will follow the economic incentives Obamacare has created and skip signing up for the government health exchanges altogether."
