That's why they need so many younger health people involved, to spread the costs of the older people over a larger pool of premium payers.

When I look around me, much of the part time jobs are taken by young people. The reason for so many part time jobs available is because the employers don't want to be responsible for paying health care, so they hire people to work for less than 30 hours a week.
Now do we expect those part timers or even low wage full timers to contribute $150 to $400 per month(depending on state) so the ACA can work & fix the old & sick people?
What if they can't or won't want to, will the IRS punish them?????
