So you kids wanted change, and voted for it and got it. How does it feel? Perhaps you feel a bit "lighter;" you should.

Winston Churchill said that anyone who is young and not liberal has no heart, but anyone who is older and not conservative has no brains. Something to that.

FOXNews.com - Health Care Countdown: Young People Could Bear Brunt of Insurance Mandate:

"Young adults are in for a wake-up call if health care reform passes.

For the first time ever, the federal government is going to require that everybody obtain health insurance coverage. For those who have insurance through their employers, the so-called individual mandate may have very little impact. But for young adults, many of whom are not currently covered, the health care bill will add a new and costly expense to their budgets.

'The Census Bureau tells us there are 18 million people between the ages of 18 and 35 who are uninsured -- roughly half of the uninsured population are younger people in that age group,' said Anne Kim, with the non-profit think tank Third Way.

The individual mandate has teeth to it, and anyone who refuses to get coverage will be fined under the health care package."
