Actually, that provision in obamacare is the ONE. SINGLE. THING. in his whole atrocity that I was glad for. My kids needed it as they were putting themselves through grad school and were living on a tight budget.
It was a huge help to them to have good quality insurance (ours) at no cost to them, but to us.
FWIW, my kids in their mid twenties, are doing very well financially.
One has been married for almost three years, is on his 2nd job and 2nd house (the job change demanded a move), and the other two are finishing up grad school in in excellent financial shape as they were taught to manage money and not blow it on every little toy that comes along that they have to have.

What you should have demanded was that healthcare costs decrease such that universities could once again offer healthcare.
In 2004, I paid $112 for a $250 deductible plan for my own healthcare through Blue Cross. Today, because of ObamaCare that same basic plan is $750 and the deductible is $5,100.
In 1980, my wife paid $18/month for a university health plan.
ObamaCare was about you, the so-called rich (rich was defined as anything above minimum wage), paying higher premiums for your children. They didn’t want young adults having affordable healthcare. They wanted you to pay more.
