That effort, if successful, would have the effect of increasing typical premiums across the board.
So in addition to whatever young libertarainist prop-outreach is involved, and the basic RW desire that young people not get much medical care, there's that.
It was really something hearing republicans today asking Sibelius about the potential disastrous effect of young people under-participating.
Talk about high-level concern trolling! "Oh noes! Wouldn't it be awful if these ads we run had their desired effect?"

well, from a palm-reader POV, it is a man who makes a lot of money and doesn't spend a lot of it. Unfortunately, also someone who is healthy and likely to live a lot longer... wish the whole palm was exposed, there would be more to tell.
