Under 26 year olds now insured bc of Obama's health care victory.

i was kicked off of my dad's insurance plan when i turned 22.

haven't been to the doctor since. and it's been 4+ years.

 

Have you had a reason to go?

 

Great for the bums that have parents willing to pay for their policies!

 

how repressive is this! Giving people health insurance!!!!

That's like nazis man. Obama is Hitler, and Stalin!!!!

 

And all the childless folks whose rates skyrocket.

 

With all due respect, that was an idiotic post. As a parent paying a lot of money to send my 19 year old son out of state to school, I'm damn glad that when he's working on his doctorate, he won't be worrying about how he's going to afford to pay for healthcare.

 

I'll be "under 26" for another 25 days...can I still hop back on pop's insurance?

 

of course. in fact i need to go as we speak.

 

That is good news for all those college students.

 

you need to turn on your sarcasm detector, juicystream is a good moderate poster and pro healthcare reform

 

I guess that depends on the policy. I don't pay more for a family policy if I have extra family members.

 

But you could have bought him a private policy beforehand...

Or bought his school's policy, or gotten his policy through where he does his residency/internship. The choices were there before.

The individual winners were the ones with pre-existing conditions, and with limitations on how much you can be charged for your insurance it will be cheaper for your son to get his own insurance through the exchange anyways...

Edit: Whats interesting is I have a friend who is a Med student, who in the past year got dropped from her parent's health insurance. She is now on CVS's health insurance which is where she works, but went a few months without. She has a pre-existing condition that prevented her from getting private insurance. So to be fair, I shouldn't have been so blanketed with my statement.

 

I totally agree with you. Repped.

 

I am pro healthcare reform, but my intent wasn't sarcastic in this case. It isn't that I hate this part of the bill, its that I don't see it fixing problems. Of course FranchiseBlade makes a valid point that some people don't pay extra for their kids because they already have a set family policy.

It is funny that I'm actually in favor of a government option, and would actually prefer government ran care rather than what we got.

 

I think what juicyfruit said is very logical and makes a lot of sense. Have you ever thought he is the moderate and that you are the extreme???

 

In Texas it was already age 25 so this isn't a huge deal for Texans. As for employers not advertising it, it's not as simple as you are making it sound Glynch. (Not surprised)
