We have four adult children and three of them are over the age of 21. We made them get their own policies once they were done with college because....THEY ARE ALL GROWN UP NOW! I can’t believe people pay for their kids’ health insurance over the age of 21.

Now...about the preexisting condition requirement. I totally understand it from the standpoint of the insurance companies. Why should they have to insure someone who will cost them a lot of money? That’s not insurance. But, what would be the free market solution to this? My son had cancer a few years ago and while he’s a big time libertarian, he told me that he’s very grateful for that provision. His cancer could come back at any time, although he is cancer free now, thank the Lord.

Well, I can believe it because most on plans have most or all of their plans underwritten by their employers. They are now considered children now to 26, give me a break. They vote at 18 though. IMO, if they are not emancipated as in on their own they should not be voting period. I look at the bums running amok on the colleges complaining about every gnat buzzing about as they scurry about in their cloistered environments with lefty professors pouring dribble into their mindless cranias and I cringe.

We kept them on the plan and they divided and paid their portion, it was much less expensive and much better coverage
