Obamacare will bankrupt young people (VIDEO)

by Austin Petersen

Cool story, bro!

A new report is showing just how much health care costs will rise under Obamacare. On average, a healthy non-smoking 30-year-old male will see his health care costs rise 260% by the lowest estimates. Katherine Timpf of Campusreform.org and Ron Meyer, a Republican candidate in Virginia appeared on Fox News to discuss why young people don’t need Obamacare’s fines and higher medical costs.

Meyer states that even though young people can stay on their parents healthcare until they are 26, but their parents will still be paying higher costs. He argues that we have the highest structural unemployment since the great Depression and this will make it even worse.

Timpf then chimed in with the fact that 4 million young people are needed to enroll to make the program work. She believes that if a lot of young people don’t enroll, the program won’t function. Meyer agreed but reminded the audience of the fine involved in not paying the mandate. The Republican candidate argued that more than 3 million young people will have to pay $1,000 more to enroll in the exchanges. That’s a lot of money for a young person.
