I don't understand why people like it so much. It sounds good, until you realize that (at least in my state), having a kid on your plan means that the billing rate is "family" instead of "couple." Since the family rate is the same no matter how many children after the first, it's pretty high.

Until the ACA took full effect, it was cheaper to have one or two kids buy their own insurance separately, even if they were under 26, than to keep them on the family plan.

Now that ACA has fully ratcheted up rates on the young, that might not be quite so true. It was true last I checked about 4 years ago.

Oh, a lot of people say they like the guaranteed coverage for preexisting conditions. They don’t even seem to realize that that one provision makes it something OTHER THAN insurance.
