You are missing something. Something VERY important.
#1) First and foremost, last I checked the average lifespan isn't 80. Our nation is heavily obese, I would place the average lifespan ~60-65 at the most.
#2) The most important point that is being missed the most: THIS IS A PYRAMID SCHEME. That means, they MUST have shitloads of young people to account for the older generations taking advantage and paying the same (or less) price. You must understand, the principle of ObamaCare revolves around the idea that the population is still multiplying (when in reality, population growth has actually slowed down, see boomerang's post on birth rates). Even if it was at the average age, that would not matter because what is needed is for it to be heavily on the young side, hence Pyramid Scheme.
I don't think you know what a Pyramid Scheme is.
