that was in response to this:
"I don't know anybody making biglawyer money yet but who the fuck is going to pay/can pay $800/mo?"
my point was that's close to what people were already paying before ACA.
the AARP proposal is another boomer wealth transfer:
"Here’s how it works. Young people are, on average, much healthier than older people, and consume less health care services. Ordinarily, therefore, young people are much cheaper to insure than older people. Under free-market conditions—what insurance pros call experience rating—the typical 18-year-old costs one-sixth what it costs to insure the typical 64-year-old.
But Obamacare, in a sop to the AARP, requires that insurers only charge three times as much to their costliest beneficiaries what they charge to their least-costly ones. As the illustration below shows, this increases the cost of insurance for the young by 75 percent, while offering only a modest 13 percent subsidy to older Americans."
