  • In order to get the money to help insure all these people, there are new taxes (mostly on high earners and the health care industry). 
  • More options means more complicated shopping for coverage. Nothing has really changed in that area.
  • Young people tend to be healthy and to not need coverage as often as older americans. However, due to low premiums and the benefits of having a plan, young people have some of the best deals of everyone under the ACA when purchasing care

Even though the money is mostly coming from high payers. I have mixed feelings for it because it doesn't really help the elders. i just hope there are more things in the future to benefit]]> 2016-06-15 17:15:17 UTC https://padlet.com/brittneycastaneda/ls2jcbfavv6h/wish/114747847
