Power Line: Forcing Young People Into the System: "Pizza Hut learned this a few years ago when it pioneered a program that made health insurance available to its part-time workers at remarkably advantageous rates. To the company's surprise, few of its part-time employees--fewer than ten percent, as I recall--signed up for the plan. Even at subsidized rates, the vast majority of young, single employees had no interest in spending money on health insurance.
Thus, the crocodile tears that are shed over 'the uninsured' are by no means entirely genuine. One of the basic purposes of just about anyone's 'health care plan' is to find a way to force those millions of young, single people to pay for the health care required by their elders."
