> worse heavily discriminates against the older folks

The ACA is actually a wealth transfer from the young to the old, like social security, because the young pay much more than their portion of healthcare costs, while the old have a ceiling on their healthcare costs.

Whether this is good policy is for the think tanks and politicians, but after the ACA it is not true that health insurance discriminates against older Americans.
