But we don't charge the young for it upfront in their health insurance (we do that thru taxes in their paychecks). And we will see the results of whether the higher charges in the health insurance for the "losers" under AFCA effects the rate of their participation in it.

Lots of young and healthy people may decide that a $95 dollar fine is better than a 170 a month health care preimum with a $5000 deductible. That means you still have to pay $1900 a year and still shell out if you want to see a DR. Some of these people are going to decide it is better to stash the $1900 in the bank so it is there when they have a medical need. And if they priced health insurance before the AFCA was implemented they are aware that Obamacare is costing them more to join--on an apples to apples basis.

I am not saying this behavior is a given--the jury is still out on it.
