Start with extending it down to 60 or 50
Insurance works by having the undamaged subsidize the damaged. That's why everyone needs to be in. Younger people are less damaged in general, but are sometimes damaged, and will eventually be old people.

Good observations, but it's all in the category of what might have been or what might be--as you admit at the end of your post.

I would give premium reductions equivalent to the cost of contraception to those religious organizations who object to contraception with the caveat that the savings in premium would be transferred to 3rd party insurers to help with the cost of that benefit for such organizastion's employees who want it.
