As the president hosts a White House youth summit, a new poll from
his alma mater shows a majority of young people aren't interested in
signing up for his signature health care plan.
The Harvard "Millennials" poll
found only 22 percent of young Americans -- defined in the survey as
between 18 and 29 years old -- plan to sign up for ObamaCare. Even more
troubling for the administration, fewer than a third -- only 29 percent
-- of people who currently do not have health insurance plan to enroll.
"Actuarially, the [Affordable Care Act] depends upon these young
Americans signing up," Trey Greyson, director of Harvard's Institute Of
Politics, said. "Our survey shows that the administration has a lot of
work to do to get them on board."
Indeed, the Affordable Care Act relies on a large pool of young,
healthy enrollees to pay for older, sicker Americans. Without their
premium support, the entire system is at risk of collapse.
