In an interview today, he said that he would be in favor of keeping kids on the policy until they are ___.
If the age is over 21, this is liberalism/RINOism at it’s best.
It would have to pass Congress. No way that anything from 21 past (unless we’re talking about medically disabled persons who are legal dependents) would get most GOP votes in Congress
Even before Obamacare, the health insurance plan that my company arranged with the insurance company for me still covered my children past age 21, if they were still my dependents.
The correct answer to that question is “as long as the parents are willing to continue to pay the extra cost of coverage for the children”.
And government’s job is to make sure regulations don’t preclude that coverage. Insurance companies will be glad to continue writing policies, and some parents will be glad to pay them.
Because parents know that if their 22-year-old doesn’t buy insurance, and gets sick, the parents are going to make sure they don’t die, whatever the cost. That’s what parents do for their children.
Why are you so concerned with dictating what the correct “conservative” age is to force children off the parent’s insurance coverage? It doesn’t seem conservative to me to interject your opinion into the private contracts of others.
nonsense, if NOBODY is compelled to buy it who cares? let the free market decide if it is a viable product.
