How many single 20 somethings here buy health insurance

It would not be a huge increase in cost, you would offer higher premiums for the older generations who could stomach it because they are wealthier.

Let's get real, the cost spikes in healthcare have NOT come from something that has been around forever like people in their 20's without insurance.
It has come from overregulation, advances in technology, ease of lawsuits and inability to buy cheaper insurance because the Patients Rights Act de facto forbids it.

I'm not speaking to you. You have no idea what you are talking about and just spout off a bunch of random, disjointed "facts" that have little to do with reality and even less to do with the subject at hand. Slow down, learn to read, learn to write and then maybe we can talk.
 
I didn't need that lesson at all, and it doesn't change the facts.
Let me guess Nigel you don't have kids in their 20's.

What would happen to insurance premiums if insurance companies were required to provide insurance to sick people that have a lot of health care costs?

They'd skyrocket or the insurance company would go belly-up. But you are wanting (and now you've got it) for the youngsters just getting started to pay for it by forcing them to get insurance. I can tell you that I would not be where I am today if I had had to buy insurance when I was just getting started. Heck, I was barely making it without buying insurance.

I'm not saying it's a great deal for younger people, I'm just saying that it is the reality. In my view it is good policy. Other people disagree.

Take the ball and go home bitch, you are beat.
Again, the cost spikes in healthcare have NOT come from something that has been around forever like people in their 20's without insurance.

You are trying to LIE by pretending that people in their 20's need to buy insurance when they already did not for decades and costs did not rise before government involvement.

Here's why you don't want to talk to me, because you have much less chance of convincing me and you are lazy relying on one-liner dismissals of the weakest part of any argument I make rather than try and real debate.
You are an angry little snobby law student, quite knowledgeable in law and congress and relying on that to mask your ignorance on history and economics.

Like I said, slow down and learn how to read. I'm not offering an explanation as to why heathcare costs have increase. I'm merely explaining what would happen to insurance costs if you prohibited insurers from denying coverage based on pre-existing conditions and what the bill does to balance out those negative effects.

And enough of the ad-hom bullshit and guessing at my personal information about which you haven't a clue.
 
I bought it when I was managing convenience stores after the military. I had it in full almost all my life. There's been some short stretches where I didn't have coverage, but not many and not long.

Good point.

You should be allowed to freely choose to buy health insurance without worrying about monetary concerns, because health insurance is a human right that is inviolable.

You need to revisit the dictionary so you have a more clear understanding of the words you're using.

Health insurance is a product, not a human right.

If people were denied these products based on some human related attribute (race, sex, etc) then you might have a point.

Not being able to afford or choosing to not purchase something is not a violation of human rights
