>> Let's Get Personal: Obamacare Really Is Good For The Young And
>> Healthy

 EC> Here's the short version: someone named Todd Essig thinks
 EC> that young adults should have insurance so that they will
 EC> not have catastrophic expenses, they will be able to take
 EC> more prescription drugs, and they will get preventive care.
 EC>  The only thing that this has to do with Obamacare is that
 EC>  he feels the government should force people to get
 EC>  insurance even if they disagree with him. Other than that,
 EC>  his essay has nothing to do with the Affordable Care Act,
 EC>  just insurance in the abstract.

 That is pretty much the only thing the ACA does, insure people
 are insured.

 EC> So who is Todd Essig?  "Todd Essig, Ph.D., is a Training
 EC> and Supervising Psychoanalyst at the William Alanson White
 EC> Institute and Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at
 EC> New York Medical College."

 EC> One of the comments to the article: "If insurance is
 EC> ultimately a personal decision like you say than can you
 EC> explain to me why we are going to be forced to pay a tax to
 EC> support it? That seems to me to take the personal decision
 EC> out of it."

 You pay for it when he goes to the hospital without insurance.
 The cost is even higher then.

 After all, the mandate is a republican proposal from the
 original Heritage Foundation/Romney care days.

 Insurance may be a personal choice, but all to often lack of
 insurance is not a personal choice.
