LOL

Hey, you think that thought isn’t going through millions of 26 year old heads about now.

she still did not know what plan was right for her.

My bet: she doesn't want any plan that she has to pay for herself.

They wouldn’t be facing such challenges if the Democrats didn’t wreck the Health insurance industry.

They’ve been adults legally for eight years now. Leftists want their voters to be children mentally forever.

Failure to Launch.

I left the house when I was 17, never to return as a dependent.

“a research assistant assessing access to healthcare among Latino populations...”

She’s obviously not very good at her research position if she can’t assess her own access to healthcare. Dims often just don’t see the irony in their statements. Oh, and they can’t do math, either. And they can only plan about 10 minutes into the future, unless they’re driving and want to make a left turn and they’re in the right lane. Then it’s only about 10 seconds.

New suggested headline:

Kids, who extended their childhood well into what should have been adulthood, unprepared for the day in and day out aspects of life.....

The really sad part is that these people that are so poorly educated that they can’t even buy insurance when they’re 26, have been eligible to vote since they were 18. The rules ought to be that anyone who doesn’t buy their own insurance is ineligible to vote.

What will these kids do when their parents die of extreme old age?

Really, I don’t see why the limit is 26. Let the insurance company decide what plans they offer, some family is up to 18/out or HS, some can be up to 26, some can be up to whatever family lives there.
Also, make three tiers - single, married, and family. Adding a wife goes from $44 a month to around $240... Ridiculous.

I left my house when I was 19. Had a falling out with Dad and never asked for money even when I was at university. I only applied for the Pell grant ONCE and paid it off within a year. My odd jobs during university involved cash jobs involved driving for an escort service, dj for a strip club and bartender. My Mom asked me why I didnt ask them for money all the time during those years, and she was suspicious and concerned how I was paying for all of it.

Funny thing was that MOST of my classmates 10 years even after graduating are still paying for those student loans. I paid mine in full 2 years.

The average age of a soldier in Vietnam was about 19, I have been told.

In the 80s there was a new wave song wherein that fact was part of the chorus.
