I've never had major medical expenses but I can bet someday I will. People my age mostly seem to be of the mind that they don't need it now so freak it. How they don't ever think about if we keep things the way they are now you will need to be a multimillionaire to deal with any somewhat serious illness in the future is beyond me.
I always took employer-offered healthcare, even when single--even when not cost-effective, but I was a rare breed. Most young people are focused on short-term pleasure spending or long-term saving for big items like homes. Future health issues, if you've never really been exposed to them, are meaningless.
We do a terrible job of educating the public about health. But let's privatize public schools!
What blows my mind is they are culling their own herd. The vast majority of people on social assistance (medicaid, food stamps, etc) and social security/medicare are either poor or old white people. Predominantly republican supporters. If they kill them off with Trumpcare, their party is finished.

I said it immediately after the election. While it's going to hurt
all of us who aren't wealthy, I
can't wait for Trump supporters who benefit most from the ACA (which many had no idea was the
same thing as Obamacare) to lose their coverage.
But this won't hurt the Republican party one bit. The ignorant will remain ignorant (especially if they start manipulating the education system), and all they have to do is talk about the homosexuals or evil "Islamists" and their constituency will fall right back in line.
