WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Young U.S. voters helped put Barack Obama in the White House, but they're all but ignoring the healthcare debate, polls and anecdotal evidence suggest.

"You're young and indestructible," Anthony Castell, a 24-year-old Virginia state employee who has no health benefits, told Politico.

"I think there's a lot of apathy," he said. "I think a lot of people voted for Obama because they thought it was cool."

A Gallup Poll out this week found 34 percent of Americans 18 to 34 said they wanted their member of Congress to vote for healthcare reform and an equal percentage wanted their representative to oppose reform.

Thirty-one percent said they weren't sure, the poll indicated.

Obama's plan could appeal to young adults, if they'd pay attention, Politico observed.

Among other things, the plan would create special young-adult private and public insurance plans and let them remain on their parents' policies until they're 26.

Some young Obama supporters, like Georgetown University law student Ari Matusiak, are organizing to deliver the healthcare-reform message on their own.

Matusiak and some friends he met volunteering for Obama on the campaign trail recently founded Young Invincibles, a group dedicated to mobilizing a grassroots health-reform campaign among the nation's 18- to 34-year-olds.
