In other words, insurers want the US taxpayer to cover their losses and ensure they have a no risk profit margin

The back-stabbing dirtbags were in it from the beginning. If only a class action suit were possible.

Why is there a problem with kids staying on their parents plans to 26? If my kid got out of college at 21, it is clear based on the rates he won’t be able to afford it. The costs are transferred to me.

Don’t see what the issue is.

That's one way of putting it. Another is that insurers, who are private corporations, don't want to be forced to take known losers on without compensation.

It's a kind of poison--as soon as the government forces them to take known losers, it forces them to ask the government to cover the obvious losses that are being forced upon them. In other words, once the government assigns some people to them at socialistic government determined rates, they are not completely free market entities.

Smith & Wesson took one in the shorts for cooperating with the Clintons.

Big Insurance was in on the ACA racket. Now the wind is blowing in the other direction. Time for them to receive some thanks for nothing.

______________

Exactly. They don’t want to compete. They want a cash machine.

Even the insurance companies can’t fathom operating without government involvement.

Sad state of affairs.

Reminds me of that line from The Ten Commandments (I think): “How can we make bricks without straw?”

Except, in that case, you really couldn’t make bricks without straw.

I don't either. My daughter is 24 and working, but she's still on our plan. The plans offered where she works, an insurance agency, are really bad.

My oldest son got nailed for not having any insurance and had to pay the damn fine/tax.
