Obama: Lack of Younger People Signing up for ObamaCare Driving Rising Costs

"In those states where the governor or legislator is hostile to the ACA it makes it harder to enroll people because the state is  not actively participating in outreach. So, as a consequence in those states enrollment in a plan, especially enrollment of young people has lagged. What that means is that the insurance poll is smaller and it gets higher percentage of older and sicker people who are singing up because if you are sick, or you are old, you are more likely to say, 'Well, I'm going to sign up no matter what because I know I'm going to need it.' If you're young and healthy like you guys, you say, 'Yeah, I'm fine. Life's good.' So you have more older and sicker people signing up, fewer  younger and healthier people signing up, and that drives the rates up."
