Please keep in mind, these are the young people allegedly bright enough to go to college. These are the voters who helped elect Barack Obama. BTW, who the heck is Snooki?

Study finds 6 out of 7 uninsured young adults better off if they pass on Obamacare...

Math...

Via The Daily Caller:
The free-market American Action Forum (AAF) found that in Obamacare’s first year, 6 out of 7 uninsured young adults will pay less if they go without health insurance than if they enroll in Obamacare. As Obamacare’s individual  mandate tax penalty rises drastically over the next several years, the proportion will only slightly decrease to 71 percent in 2015 and 62 percent in 2014.
Analyzing data collected from a 2011 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component — a large-scale, nationally-representative, household survey collected by one of the Department of Health and Human Services’ own agencies — AAF discovered that paying out-of-pocket for health care will overwhelmingly cost “young invincibles” less overall.

Young Illegal immigrants line up for "Obamanesty"


Dreamers are dreaming of a two-year reprieve from deportation. Obama is dreaming of a new Democratic base.

Via FOX News:
Young illegal immigrants are lining up by the thousands at consulates across the country to take advantage of the Obama administration program allowing them to apply for a two-year reprieve from deportation.

As many as 1.8 million undocumented immigrants could be eligible for the program, which kicked off Wednesday. Under the new rules, applicants can fill out a six-page form, pay a $465 fee and submit documents proving their identity in order to qualify.

Immigration officials say the documents will be closely scrutinized, given the potential for fraud, but there is no uniform standard. Applicants are supposed to show they arrived in the U.S. before they were 16, and that they're enrolled in school or vocational training, or have a high school degree.

The lines began forming on Tuesday, as illegal immigrants tried to get a leg up in seeking their passport applications.

Obama losing young white voters

If young voters are smart, they will join the Tea Party. Democrats are destroying their future with astronomical debt and intrusive government regulations.

Via NY Times:
In the four years since President Obama swept into office in large part with the support of a vast army of young people, a new corps of men and women have come of voting age with views shaped largely by the recession. And unlike their counterparts in the millennial generation who showed high levels of enthusiasm for Mr. Obama at this point in 2008, the nation’s first-time voters are less enthusiastic about him, are significantly more likely to identify as conservative and cite a growing lack of faith in government in general, according to interviews, experts and recent polls.
Polls show that Americans under 30 are still inclined to support Mr. Obama by a wide margin. But the president may face a particular challenge among voters ages 18 to 24. In that group, his lead over Mitt Romney — 12 points — is about half of what it is among 25- to 29-year-olds, according to an online survey this spring by the Harvard Institute of Politics. And among whites in the younger group, Mr. Obama’s lead vanishes altogether.
Among all 18- to 29-year-olds, the poll found a high level of undecided voters; 30 percent indicated that they had not yet made up their mind. And turnout among this group is expected to be significantly lower than for older voters.

Democrats Train Them for Corruption Young (video)

University of Minnesota students associated with "ORGANIZING FOR AMERICA" allegedly committed voter fraud. In Minnesota you can vote without an ID. You just need to have someone who knows you vouch for you. The young Obamabots are accused of vouching for people they didn't even know. This could have allowed ineligible people to cast a ballot.

Seasonal Flu Kills Elderly. H1N1 Kills the Young.


The CDC reported today that almost 4000 Americans have died from swine flu (H1N1) since April.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - H1N1 swine flu killed an estimated 3,900 Americans from April to October, U.S. health officials said on Thursday.

The starling thing about these deaths is 90% have been in people under the age of 65. This statistic is reverse what is normally seen for the seasonal flu.

In a normal flu season, 90% of deaths are in elderly people. Since September, 90% of deaths have been in people under age 65 -- with almost a quarter of the deaths in young people under age 25.

Obamacare Throws Young Voters Under The Bus



President Obama and Democrats in Congress are pushing hard to pass one of their versions of health care reform. The effect of this reform on health insurance premiums will be significant for young Americans. They could see their premiums double and they will face fines and even jail time if they refuse to pay these skyrocketing premiums. Sixty-six percent of voters in the age group of 18-to-29 year-olds voted for President Obama. How's that hopey-changey thing working out?

From Cato@Liberty:
A new study by Cato Adjunct Scholar Aaron Yelowitz concludes that the cost of President Obama’s health care plan would fall inordinately upon younger Americans, meaning they are in essence being asked to subsidize the care of their elders:

Those provisions would drive premiums down for 55-year-olds but would drive them up for 25-year-olds—who are then implicitly subsidizing older adults. According to the Urban Institute, many young people could see their premiums double, whereas premiums for older adults could be cut in half.
