18-30 year olds that opt NOT to have job related coverage because they would rather have the cash in hand each paycheck

If one starts with the assumption, as I do, that part of the intent of this health coverage legislation is to make others pay for health coverage, you then see the reason why they want to set this up.

Part of the effect is to make those younger people who choose to go without coverage and keep their cash for other things, instead pay into the system that they will not use much to subsidize and pay for care for others. It’s a really clever back door way to confiscate income.
