In 2010, Young said he was uncertain what was causing the observed heating of the planet, that it could be sunspots or normal cycles of nature, and that "the science is not settled".[25]That same year he signed a pledge sponsored byAmericans for Prosperitypromising to vote against any global warming legislation that would raise taxes.[26]

"[29]The bill was proposed in response to a July 2, 2013, decision by theObama administrationto delay the employer mandate found in thePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act,but do nothing to the individual mandate requirement.[30]
When he introduced the Fairness for American Families Act, Young argued that "rather than driving healthcare costs down, the individual mandate is imposing a new tax and burdensome costs on middle class families" and therefore "hardworking Americans deserve the same exemptions that President Obama is unilaterally granting to businesses and labor unions."[30]
- Save American Workers Act of 2013– a bill to amend the way in which thePatient Protection and Affordable Care Act(popularly known asObamacare) definesfull-timeworker by raising the 30-hour threshold to 40 hours a week, in an effort to remove the incentive some companies may have to reduce their employees' hours to avoid the employer healthcare mandate.[31][32][33]Young introduced it into the House on June 28, 2013.[33]
