I think that because everyone over 65 is already covered by socialized medicine (paid for by MY tax dollars), and everyone in jail already gets coverage by socialized medicine (paid for by MY tax dollars), and everyone with a disability claim, bogus or not, is covered by socialized medicine (paid for by MY tax dollars). Having healthy 20 something covered is unlikely to raise the astronomical healthcare costs engendered by these incredibly needy segments of the population.

And quite frankly, it may drop costs since, when that 20 something who has no insurance goes out drinking and wrecks their car and nearly kills themselves, and then goes to the ER (on MY dime through passed on medical costs from hospital and emergency services) it costs A LOT.
