Will young people jeopardize the success of ObamaCare?

When the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act was under debate in the Supreme Court last year, Justice Samuel Alito highlighted a problem with ObamaCare that could ultimately jeopardize the entire viability of the system of insurance exchanges. He pointed out that young, healthy adults currently spend an average of $854 a year on healthcare. However, ObamaCare would require them to purchase insurance policies expected to cost roughly $5,800. These added costs do not stem from additional "services that they are going to consume," he stated. "The mandate is forcing these people to provide a huge subsidy to the insurance companies... to subsidize services that will be received by somebody else."
