For most young people, it's much better to have no insurance than to pay the fee. Now, there's no fee, thank goodness.
Republicans repealed the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate, which ensures young, healthy individuals are covered, in their tax cut bill. Repealing the mandate means 378,000 fewer Californians will have health care and is responsible for 40% of this year’s rate increase.

Except when it’s not. I was 25, fit, healthy, non-smoker when they found a tumor inside my rib cage lodged between my heart and lung. Found it bc pressure collapsed my lung. The COBRA law saved my life. I too thought it was better not to waste money on ins. My dad knew better.

Not for nothing, Senator, but young people are overcharged under the current system so that older people can be undercharged. We're burdening the very people who can afford it the least. (young people)

My daughter was under my insurance till she was 26 ! She is covered at her work now same as my son ! It relieved my worry that they weren’t covered until they got their own . Great decision by Obama!pic.twitter.com/kbp7Jbn3oK

I love how you imply that the Republicans cut coverage for 378,000 CA people... They allowed 378,000 CA people to make their own choice. I guess you like to tell me what to do; totally control my life. PS—Where’d the 40% number come from? (curious)

Thank God the mandate was repealed! My employer would not allow me to insure my husband and son, we paid Obamacare 700$ a month or the fine! It went up a hundred bucks and got much less insurance the next year! Can't imagine that it could go up more!

Thank goodness the mandate is gone. Gov has ruined the healthcare system. Please get out of markets and get back to protecting our borders!
