Good for you. I hope your health remains good and you have no accidents. If you do I hope you have plenty of savings to pay your medical bills.
Nah, he can just sign up when stuff happens. No pre-existing conditions...remember.
Wait until the penalties start kicking in. No worries. I now pay less than 500 bucks per month for my healthcare (down from 800 a month under the 'private insurance plan'). Most of the 7 million people signed up get subsidies to ensure that their healthcare is affordable. I don't, but I still my premiums went down.
Regardless of whether you sign up or not, it is now the GOP's responsibility to figure out how to keep everyone currently insured without premium rises at the same level of service. Good luck with that.
I really don't care how much the plan costs in the first couple of years. The goal is to get the government into the healthcare business and to make it an entitlement to comprehensive access to healthcare for a means based premium.
At the next open enrollment in October, coverage will increase to 14 or so million. Its game over for the anti-Obamacare folks. It would be easier to repeal Obamacare if those currently on it were the healthy ones. Because it would be easy to move them to the private sector. I suspect that of that 7.5 million, most of us are going to be VERY hard to move back to the private sector.
Too many people will have coverage by the time y'all get a shot at this. The GOP plans aren't going to contain costs, preserve quality, or preserve means based access to healthcare.
In short, you've lost. And its over. Try telling every single American on Diabetes that their healthcare costs will triple on the new GOP plan (and it will).
If you'd like to continue to be a free rider, that's your choice. But Obamacare is permanent.
