doesn't sound very fair to me...
You pay now and benefit later when the young and healthy's premiums are subsidizing YOUR healthcare.

The ACA requires insurance companies to use 85% of premiums actually providing healthcare.

The same people against ACA are usually the ones who want to get rid of Social Security and Medicare. Are you able to pay for the care of all of your elderly or disabled relatives on top of your entire family's?
