Thank you for that insight. Yet another unintended consequence I hadn't considered.

I'm eager to see how many young, healthy people are signing up for health care under ACA, because if the registrations are primarily from sick people, the system can't work, right.. or at least, not without further raising rates for those who can afford it?

Do you really have to ask???

There's a appalling lack of transparency in all this, but when the curtain is occasionally lifted (generally at a state site), or we otherwise hear stuff, there's nothing that indicates "young invincibles" are signing up in significant, let alone sufficient, numbers.

That may change as they get dinged for every higher penalties, but the political sustainability of those is highly questionable.
