Of course it's a problem, because if you make that 26 yr old's plan 1/3


the most expensive plan (rather than 1/5 or less), and then make the plans more expensive (covering kids to 26, increase items covered), you are making that young and healthy person's plan that much more expensive. Higher price leads to less policies bought. It's not inelastic.
