Maybe the young folks aren't quite as gullible as Obama assumed...

Maybe the young folks aren't quite as gullible as Obama assumed...   First we hear that ObamaCare premiums are significantly higher than our old healthcare premiums.  Now we hear this:
Insurers say the early buyers of health coverage on the nation's troubled new websites are older than expected so far, raising early concerns about the economics of the insurance marketplaces.

If the trend continues, an older, more expensive set of customers could drive up prices for everyone, the insurers say, by forcing them to spread their costs around. "We need a broad range of people to make this work, and we're not seeing that right now," said Heather Thiltgen of Medical Mutual of Ohio, the state's largest insurer by individual customers. "We're seeing the population skewing older."
On the one hand, I hate to hear about my premiums going up even more than I already thought they would.

But on the other hand, if the young folks aren't being taken in by the pile of bullshit that The One and his progressive acolytes are handing out ... well, that's actually kind of a good thing...
