true. 90% want insurance. without question, if you re pragmatic, the affordable care act helps you. 6.6 million people are on their parents health insurance plans. there are preexisting conditions who obviously will now be able to get insurance or more affordable insurance. and finally, if you enroll in the exchanges, you aren t just getting these catastrophic care plans that have a $10,000 deductible and the rest you pay out of pocket. you have decent preventative care, birth control, regular checkups. and that s going to save us all money. plus, nbc has great health care. so toure s hip replacement is already covered. really? really! wow. we re going to have a heck of a meeting affidavit show. matt, what about the concern, though, that specifically with young people, the website s problems are even harder for them to relate to? if you look at the numbers, we were looking at this today, for example. 18% of people under 30 actually work on their own website. 21% work on a website
