I wouldn’t say all of the 26-49 are screwed. A portion of those folks might be choosing not to pay for healthcare. They may be screwed if they get sick, but in general, if you opt out of paying intentionally and don’t get sick…you kind of “win”. My biggest issue with the ACA was that it really didn’t fix the 26-49% and in many ways by mandating people buy insurance, especially young families making less than around $75k a year. made things worse.
