Other than that, "Most of the freed-up time from the reduction in labour supply (at least 50% or so) is reallocated into socialising and relaxing,' Colman and Dave write. The group also devoted more time to searching for jobs and interviewing.

Having other people pay for your crap is hard work. Partying instead of saving for the looming Commiecare tax? That won't end well.

Pelosi: Obamacare Allows You to Quit Your Job and Become 'Whatever'

Encouraging people not to work is a prescription for destroying an economy and a society.

And they wonder why there are jobs Americans “won’t do?” Because they’re being paid to be lazy and “wait” for the job they really want. Which will never be found. Once the bennies are cut off, in this case at 28, they’ll take whatever job is there. Assuming they have to and other bennies aren’t stepping in to fill the gap.

By the time they all hit 26,most of them will be bums.It’s the only life they’ve ever know.Better boot ‘em out of the basement and get them working now.

So instead of being productive in the most healthy years of their lives, they can be slacker bums. Great.

The ObamaCare provision that requires employer-based insurance policies to cover adult children up to age 26 has nothing to do with providing useful insurance coverage to these people.

The whole purpose of that provision is to bolster the finances of insurance carriers by expanding the risk pools to include more younger people who will have insurance premiums paid for them by their parents' employers but will have very few claims paid.

Give it another 5-10 years, and ObamaCare Version 2.0 will include a provision under which the adult children up to age 65 will be eligible for coverage under their retired parents' Medicare plans.

In my experience, young people in their 20s who spend too much time “finding themselves” turn out to be losers. I know people who didn’t get serous about earning a living until they hit their late 20s / early to mid 30s and, even as they progressed into their 40s, they were and remained net drains on society. Entitled, demanding, expecting others to pay for them, thinking the world owes them a living. They are going to live and die as drains on society. The best thing you can do for your kids, in my opinion, is to make them get on a productive path early as possible. That doesn’t mean working right out of high school, but it does mean being serious about their education — whether that is college or trade school — and then supporting themselves.

It would be terrific if there was a way to get more competition in health insurance, but Obama care was never designed to actually make it affordable. It was designed from the beginning to fail, to increase prices and make people happy with their insurance unhappy. It was designed to give people insurance, so they’d pay premiums, but jack up the out of pocket so high, that it would be much cheaper to not have any! A $5000 out of pocket, before insurance kicks in at all, ensures that people who actually read the policy before signing up, will decide not to, while those who don’t will sign up, and realize that even with insurance, one serious illness will bankrupt them. It was designed from the beginning to break the entire system, in order to get “the people” to “cry out for the government to save them.”

There are huge problems that need to be addressed, but of course, Obamacare was never about problem solving. It was all about the government grabbing control over an ever-growing segment of the economy, and more importantly, and ever growing control over individual lives.
