Most of the people signing up for ObamaCare so far are older — 45 and up — a trend that could force premiums to rise if younger, healthier enrollees remain a minority

The first official release of ObamaCare numbers shows that 2.2 million people enrolled in the first three months. Among them, 55% are ages 45 to 64, 24% are 18 to 34, and the largest group is 55 to 64 — about a third of the people, all just under the age for Medicare qualification.

How are young unemployed people supposed to afford obamacare?

Good question since many of the Obamacare plans are expensive even for people with jobs. I guess the long-term unemployed will be eligible for Medicaid.
