GenY - Paying the Stupid Tax

The WaPo is detailing yet another bill to be paid by the Gen Y so that the rest of us can party on.
Drafting young adults into any health-care reform package is crucial to paying for it. As low-cost additions to insurance pools, young adults would help dilute the expense of covering older, sicker people. Depending on how Congress requires insurers to price their policies, this group could even wind up paying disproportionately hefty premiums -- effectively subsidizing coverage for their parents.
Thanks, kids! By the way, how's that whole Social Security thing working out for you? And could you please look into taking another job? After Obama's through, you'll need one just to pay the interest on the credit card bills we're running up.

Waiter! Check, please!
