Kimmel on Marketing ObamaCare to Young People: Tell Them Not To Do It

‘No thanks, mom and dad, I’ve got the premiums covered now’

KIMMEL: "The way insurance works is you need all the young healthy people to pay for the insurance and not use it until they get old and unhealthy. And so far, only a quarter of the 2.2 million people who signed up were between 18 to 34. 24%. The White House was hoping closer to 38%. Why they would hope that, I don't know. They expect young people to buy insurance the same time the PlayStation 4 comes out? You know, if you want young people to sign up, maybe you shouldn't have made it a law that you can stay on your parent's plan until they're 26. No thanks, mom and dad, I've got the premiums covered now."
