The subsidies are being given to the elderly in much greater proportion (free) and not the young

But what does this have to do with the ACA costs? Is this just "the government is spending on this other thing rather than this thing?"

The government subsidizes a portion of ACA payments depending on income in America. Without the subsidies, it's unaffordable for probably 95% of the population. That's why most people rely on employer-sponsored healthcare.

But what does this have to do with 80 year olds and end of life care?
