Because of them, insurance companies “receive enough premiums from healthy people to cover the costs of the extra sick ones.” Insurance helps pay for people’s health problems by using the money paid by those who sign up for coverage, healthy or not. If more healthy people are in the system, there’s more money for the insurance companies to use to help pay the bills of those who are sick. Obamacare also “allows parents to add their children up to age 26 [to their insurance plans]. As a result, more young, healthy people pay premiums but don't use the system. That adds to health insurance companies' profits. They can pass these savings onto customers.”
