A comment on Show HN: Healthcare Is Dumb. Parent comment
Health insurance is just a tax, with the premiums going towards paying for healthcare for the sick and elderly (in the US, people 55+).
ACA specifically capped health insurance premiums for the elderly as a multiple of a 21 year old’s premiums.
Otherwise health insurance premiums for 20 year olds would be $30 a month and $3000 a month for 60 year olds.
