Rachel Canning, the 18 year-old teenager from New Jersey who sued her parents for financial support, won a partial victory in court this week, courtesy of Obamacare. Morris County Court Judge Peter Bogaard, according to the story, ruled that Rachel's parents must keep her on their health insurance policy. To me, this sets a dangerous precedent when it comes to the long legal road of Obamacare enforcement. Now, kids living away from their parents can stay on their parents' health plans, whether their parents like it or not. It's one thing for parents to choose to keep their college student on their health plan, but under the new health care law and with this new case, Rachel might be able to keep forcing her parents to foot the bill for almost eight more years!

Boy you got me, but given the sit on your @$$ and light up a Camel mentality of Pelosi / Obama and it is gonna be great, do what you want as an artist you are free, anything is possible. The Fubaring of the greatest healthcare system and governmental system known to man in history continues...
But if she is not in the same general area, there may not be any doctors or hospitals covered by the plan!!!!
Is the twenty-something his child or step? And he has to cover whether he has employer insurance or not?
If we fail to take control with sufficient majorities in November this nobamacare thing is going to get way out of hand. The dem/lib’s back is up against the wall, they are doubling down, as they say “don’t confuse em with facts, their minds are made up”.
What did people think was going to happen when the government said that children CAN stay on parent’s policy until they are 26???
There is a short hop from CAN to WILL.
i'd double down on the lawyer bills before i pay another dime on her ins
millions for defense, not a penny in tribute
“Is the twenty-something his child or step? And he has to cover whether he has employer insurance or not?”
The kids were hers by another man. I don’t know whether he adopted or any other details. This was before Obamacare and I’m sure they were on his work insurance. But as to now, I have no idea. The mutual friend has moved away so I’m no longer up to date.
But from listening to my work buddies who have had the misfortune of coming in front of a family judge, they tend to take into account the “welfare” of the “child” regardless of age or circumstances.
This guy apparently didn’t have a problem having these young people living with him, but he wanted them to get a job or help out around the house. Also, he didn’t want pot in the house. All of those things seem reasonable to me. But, not the judge.
I was thinking the same thing about this young woman. So she can go get herself knocked up and her parents still must provide her, and by extension, her illegitimate child with health care? The world has gone totally nuts.
So the court is forcing her patents to do what obamacare are already mandates.
OK. then
Something similar has happened to me. My adult (loose term) stepson got drunk and broke his ankle. He went to the ER and gave them MY information. Now my plan covers him, even though he was 24 at the time. But I hadn’t used insurance that year...and no deductible had been paid yet.
Guess where the hospital sent the bill for that? I straightened it out...but it just isn’t right for an adult child to put my name on the dotted line. He doesn’t even live with me. He’s too stupid to know my I insurance info, so the hospital probably looked it up based on my name and previous visits there. He still hasn’t paid them...I’m sure one day it will show up on my credit report.
It should be optional. Its my insurance, right? Shouldn’t I be consulted before my co-workers in my group plan pay for his stupidity?
This is BD.
At 26 my kids were graduated from college and owned their own homes.
I’m sure the judge would also think it was reasonable if a swat team busted in his house, found the twenty-something’s pot, and confiscated his assets.
“Its my insurance, right? Shouldnt I be consulted before my co-workers in my group plan pay for his stupidity?”
Yes, and yes.
I’m glad we get to keep our daughters on our plan. They both have disabilities: epilepsy and dystonia a movement disorder.
Even if they get coverage from work, I’m hoping it will be duel and cover more of their expenses.
If I could save up enough moeny for my daughter with epilepsy to never work, I would do it.
I don’t want her to ever be dependent on the government, but I’m afraid she will be.
If my husband had gotten cancer 2 years ago and then laid off, i think we could have. Now, we’re blowing through our savings. Ugh.
I actually happen to have sat in this judge’s court. She’s an in you face, hands on hips, rocking her head from side to side, “Say WHAT!?” kind of black woman. She was appointed by Democratic governor Lawton Childs who gave us some incredibly bad judges.
Interestingly, I sat through several black divorce cases and she never, once, listened to anything the man had to say all the way through. She was incredibly unfair, even to black men. But a black woman would get anything she wanted, no matter how ridiculous. When this judge stands for election, she has huge posters showing her from the knees up with her hands on hips and holding a gavel and this Judge Judy expression on her face. It’s almost farcical.
Amazing - the law doesn’t allow parents to keep paying premiums for their kids until they’re of age 26, it forces them to do so. Simply incredible.
Bottom line because of the coverage until age 26 rule in the ACA, 26 will be interpreted to be the new age of emancipation from parents. Divorce lawyers will have a field day.
It is sad that judges like that are allowed to discriminate against men. Unfortunately, I’ve known quite a few men who’s lives were ruined in divorce court.
Freedom is something you can only read about now Obama&CO have power.
