The main purpose of the individual mandate was to have these younger, relatively healthy consumers subsidize the costs of older, sicker and more expensive insurance enrollees.

“Due to the ACA's sweeping market reforms, rates for low-premium plans have increased exponentially between 2013 and 2014. In fact, on average, a healthy 30 year old male nonsmoker will see his lowest cost insurance option increase 260 percent,” reads AAF's report.

A healthy 30-year-old would see his health insurance costs rise in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

So my question to all those who support this so-called "reform", is how is it ethical to screw over one generation in favor of another? Especially when the generation being screwed over has already been screwed by
- obscene housing costs
- exponentially increasing college costs
- extremely high joblessness after earning degrees
and the generation being subsidized has already benefited from
- the greatest appreciation in stocks and housing in U.S. history
- the best job markets
- pensions and social security

I fail to see the ethics in forcing 20-somethings to subsidize the very 60-somethings keeping them out of jobs and houses.

If the individual mandate is necessary, all insurance policies should be grouped by 5-year age brackets, and no age bracket should be allowed to take from another age bracket. This is only ethical. And if this were applied, the cost of health insurance for the 20-somethings and early 30-somethings would have gone done, not up, after the individual mandate.

Many younger people don't have insurance because they don't believe that they need it. So, their costs will go up from zip to whatever they pay.

You are forgetting the subsidies to make it affordable - but if they don't qualify for the assistance they can probably afford the premium. It might not have been their priority before, but one accident or disease can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. they just don't realize it's helping them until they need it. Dan8267 says

Are the 60 somethings really keeping them out of jobs and houses? Did they have control over when they were born or what the economy has been during their lifetimes?

The website that you linked to blames Obama for everything - refers to "obaracades" keeping people out of government areas during the shut down and blames the shutdown itself on President Obama. How can you trust a site that purports to be a news site if all it does is regurgitate the info Faux News and the Republican party is creating?

The House Republicans are playing political poker with people's lives, betting that they can change a law that they're calling unconstitutional (it's not) and illegal (the conservative supreme court didn't think so) and that they've tried to defeat over 40 times (failed).

All that they have to do is stop acting like spoiled little bitches and allow the government to start functioning again. They don't care about their constituents who are out of work - and they don't accept that the Affordable Care act is so popular that state websites crashed with all of the traffic of people who were trying to sign up.

I had nothing to do with the younger generation's lack of ability to get jobs. Why are you blaming me?
