Hmmm...This Year's Flu Hitting the Young, Healthy people that Obamacare is desperate to enrol
Less than 50%

The flu continues its steady spread across the U.S. during a frigid winter, with the virus widespread in 35 states, up from 25 last week, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control.

This flu season has been particularly hard on adults between the ages of 18-64, often thought of as young enough to fend off the worst flu symptoms. This season 61.5 percent of hospitalized flu patients are between the ages of 18 and 64. It's a sharp increase from last season when they made up 34 percent of hospitalized flu patients.

Well... is that a coincidence or what? The age group that Obamacare is desperate to enroll just happens to be especially susceptible to the flu this year.

Obamacare May Be on Life Support If Young Don't Sign Up

The administration had hoped that over 38 percent, or 2.7 million, of all enrollees in 2014 would be 18 to 35 years old, based on a Congressional Budget Office estimate that 7 million people would sign up by the end of March.

"The whole insurance relationship is counting on them signing up," said Dale Yamamoto, an independent healthcare actuarial consultant. "Otherwise rates will have to increase."

While doctors say this flu season is not necessarily worse than past seasons, what's different is that young, healthy people are falling victim.
