This is going to affect our kids in a big way. It is a chance to bring the young people over to our side. The twenty-somethings are the ones who will be paying the highest premiums and using the least healthcare. Jobs are scarce and most of them have student loans to pay. If they can't afford insurance they can go to jail. The GOP is missing a big opportunity to reach out to the college set we are always complaining about.
Waivers for students and whomever else is in their voting base will probably appear in the conference version.
Sarah Palin, however, can reach millions from her Facebook pulpit! I want to hear her speaking to the young! (And everyone else.)
