It's pretty obvious that adding coverage for old, sickly people to the health insurance business will provide HUGE discounts in premiums.

You think the ACA adds coverage for old people?

Are you saying that old people who previously may not have had health insurance are excluded from the ACA?

Pretty sure he does this every time(moreso on his Angry Friday).

So, in order to keep him somewhat calm, we should preface every comment on ACA with "We understand that ACA does not supply healthcare coverage......."

Imagine being his kid.  

"Daddy, why is the sky blue?"
"ARE YOU SURE IT'S BLUE, YOU STUPID LITTLE BASTARD?!?!?!!?  GO GET YOUR MAMA SO I CAN BEAT YOUR BOTH FOR YOUR STUPIDITY!!!!"

Old people are covered by Medicare.

How old?

I think it's 60 or 65.

Would it be fair say there are a lot of people who were unisured but weren't over 60?  Or 65?

I wouldn't call people under 60 "old"

Actually, nevermind.    This is why arguing with you makes everyone dumber.

Everyone knows for ACA to not be a failure, young people would have to sign up for health coverage.   They aren't because healthy young people don't think that way.   Rather than fork out a portion of their money for HC, they'd rather buy "stuff".

Fair to say that you're the only person who can define "old"?

I didn't define it for anyone else. Hence "I wouldn't call..."

The old people are irrelevant to this discussion.  Any old person who signs up for Obamacare will just be immediately put down by Obama's death panels.

Looks like Obama lied about this, too:
