You don’t sound very conservative to me. Are you sure you signed up at the right forum 7 months ago? I don’t know how all the millions upon millions of US college graduates from decades past managed to survive without being on mommy and daddy’s insurance. /s
Certainly our new FRiend doesn't understand the marketplace as well as he might. Will his premiums stay the same or will his insurer expect policyholders to actually pay for this new coverage? Will his insurer go out of business? Will colleges that now offer health care plans to their students discontinue these plans?
It is fun to think that the government can just order somebody to give you something that you want. In truth, people respond to government diktats in all sorts of unpredictable, self-interested ways.
My parents supported me through graduate school which helped me finish my masters in record time and started earning good money at earliest age possible.
I am trying to do the same for my kids. One wants to pursue a law degree, the other a medical degree. Both require 7 or 8 years of college. I do not want them to delay the degrees by working in minimum wage part time jobs.
This is as capitalist as it gets.
